Career and Family: Collision or Confluence?
In recent decades, many highly educated women have successfully navigated career roadblocks that had hindered equally gifted women in the past. More recently a greater fraction of college graduate women have achieved family as birthrates have been rising. What happens when there are more kids and more careers? Is it a collision course or a successful confluence of desires? The 8th Kenneth J. Arrow Lecture, "Career and Family: Collision or Confluence," is delivered by Claudia Goldin, Henry Lee Professor of Economics at Harvard University. Discussants are Christopher Flinn, professor of economics at New York University, and Joseph E. Stiglitz, Nobel Laureate in Economics and University Professor at Columbia University. Welcome by Alondra Nelson, dean of social science and professor of sociology, Columbia University Event date: December 10, 2015
