Overview
Connect with other scholars to discuss how remittances influence the socioeconomic development of countries and individuals, as well as how outside factors can affect the flow and impact of remittances.
This casual networking forum will commence with a brief panel of research presentations from Drs. Stefanie Haeffele, senior research fellow at the Mercatus Center at George Mason University; Gerasimos Tsourapas, professor of international relations at the University of Glasgow; and Mushfiq Mobarak, professor of economics at Yale University.
Following the presentations, participants will have the opportunity to engage with other researchers working on similar issues and further hone their own ideas. Please come prepared to discuss your current research and share ideas for future academic research or public-facing work, such as op-eds.
This event will take place on April 25, from 4:30 to 6:00 PM Eastern Time, and will be hosted via Zoom. If you have research interests in this area, we encourage you to apply for this opportunity.
