Visiting Scholar: Heidi Hartmann

Please make note of an important upcoming GWS event! On Monday, November 11th at 6:00 p.m. in Bartley 1011, Heidi Hartmann will be giving her talk, "Women and Men: The Recession and Recovery."

Hartmann is a feminist economist and the founder of The Institute for Women's Policy Research, a scientific research organization formed to meet the need for women centered public policy research. She is also the organization's president and a Research professor at The George Washington University in D.C. Her areas of expertise include women and the economy, workforce participation, equity, and Social Security. She lectures internationally on women, economics, and public policy, and frequently testifies before U.S. Congress.

If you are interested in reading some of Hartmann's recent work, you can find a few of her articles posted on the GWS website: http://www1.villanova.edu/villanova/artsci/gws.html.

Hartmann is currently the scholar in residence for the Greater Philadelphia Women's Studies Consortium. We are very excited that she will be visiting Villanova!
