Continuing our film series celebrating diversity and empowerment around International Women’s Day, our latest film focuses on ‘Why do we need more women in economics?’
Dr Danielle Guizzo, Associate Professor in Economics Education, and students Lucy (BSc Economics and Politics) and Ihsaan (BSc Economics and Management) discuss the importance of women’s contributions to economics and how having more than one perspective can help solve the pressing issues that we face in society today.
Lucy, a student pursuing a BSc in Economics and Politics, said: ‘Men and women come from different perspectives and mindsets. Women often think how can we tackle problems in a different way?’
Ihsaan (BSc Economics and Management) added, ‘It makes you understand that not only do we need to be put into these positions where we are represented, or we are seen, but also the fact that we could make a remarkable change.’
Many thanks to Dr Danielle Guizzo, and students Lucy (BSc Economics and Politics) and Ihsaan (BSc Economics and Management) for sharing their experiences. You can share your thoughts and inspirational economists on our social channels: X, Facebook, LinkedIn and Instagram.
