Join us for our first ever annual Undergraduate Seminar! This is a great opportunity to engage and connect with Economics research!

Tammy Schirle, is a Labour Economist, and Professor coming to us from Wilfrid Laurier University! Her research often focuses on retirement decisions, women’s roles in the labour market, and Canadian policy. She will explore some of these topics during her talk, “Can we have it all? The future of remote work and implications for juggling career, family, and everything else you love.”

Come for the talk, stay for the pizza!

Abstract

The rise of remote work has changed the way we structure our workday, our relationships with employers and coworkers, and our productivity – at work and in our personal lives. Where can we find opportunities to work remotely? Who is taking those opportunities? Can we work remotely and build a successful career at the same time? This talk will offer some answers, while highlighting challenges that researchers must address.

This lecture is only open to Economics undergraduate students as we have limited capacity. Please RSVP here.
