Swarthmore professor Amanda Bayer has worked much of her career to address diversity in economics. She has published papers about it, served on the AEA's Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession, and co-organized a national summit on the topic with the Federal Reserve. She is also the creator and editor of Diversifying Economic Quality, a widely read online resource that promotes inclusive, innovative, and evidence-based teaching practices in economics. She also helped develop the AEA's "Best Practices for Economists" aimed at building a more diverse and inclusive profession.
In this 2017 interview, the AEA's Chris Fleisher and Diana Schoder talk with Bayer about the severity of the gender gap in economics, why addressing it is more than an issue of fairness, and her own experiences as she advanced her career.
