We have also launched a podcast to share perspectives from Black economists on a range of issues. In addition to this, we have also proudly worked with several organisations to increase representation across the profession. We delivered an extensive programme of events and workshops including Black History Month 2020, our Black Women in Economics Panel event for Women’s Month 2021, we launched the inaugural Black Heritage Insight Scheme with Frontier Economics and hosted a series of international PhD insight workshops.
