Women in Economics – Newark, NJ

November 13, 2009

Rutgers School of Law – Newark, Women’s Rights Law Reporter would like to introduce the topic of our Fall 2009 Symposium, occurring on Friday, November 13, 2009: Women In Economics, Where are We Today?

This symposium is focused on the recent downturn in our economy, and how our latest economic crisis has had an effect on women. We invite discussion on topics such as: women in the workplace today; women’s positions in our economic sphere as it stands today and, possibly, as compared with ten years ago; women’s ability to obtain loans for either small businesses, homes, or the like; the bailout and its effect on women; all current legal issues associated with women and economics, and finally, differing feminist perspectives on where the women of today are headed in the future in terms of this economy. This is a fairly broad topic, but our main concern to answer the question of where this recent economic crisis has left women today, and the legal battles that they may be facing in the future.

We invite proposals for articles, essays and book reviews in conjunction with this symposium topic, however, such proposals are not required for participation in this event. Also, publication of any article, essay or book review is subject to the quality of the piece, and is within the sole discretion of our editors.

We welcome brief submissions of 250 words or less as to what issues you would be able to speak on concerning our Fall 2009 Symposium. I expect to get back to potential speakers as soon as possible, as this event if fast approaching. Please feel free to contact me. Christine Burke, Symposium Editor (burke.christine5 [at] gmail.com).
