Description
Join us for an engaging fireside chat with Dr. Betsey Stevenson, a leading labor economist and former member of the President’s Council of Economic Advisers. Drawing on her research and policy experience, Dr. Stevenson will explore how economic forces shape the modern family, women’s experiences in the labor market, and the evolving nature of work.
This conversation will connect big economic ideas—like labor market shifts, caregiving, paid leave, and AI—to real-world experiences that resonate with today’s students. Designed with high school educators in mind, the session will offer insights to help teachers bring relevance, equity, and current events into their economics classrooms.
