Couldn’t ask for a better workshop in a better city with a better group of brilliant scholars 😊

Empirical Study of Gender (EGEN) Research Network. @egenpolisci.bsky.social · May 19

We had an amazing time in ITAM in Mexico City for the 17th Empirical Study of Gender (EGEN) workshop! Our workshop brought together scholars from around the world to discuss projects on gender and power, get feedback, and build community. Look at this group of amazing scholars 🤩

A group of scholars stand behind a sign that reads ITAM. There is green lawn to the front and sides of the sign and red buildings in the background.

Incredible resources for grad students made available by @angietorres.bsky.social . I benefitted tremendously from applications made available by others and have since shared my materials with many others. Very rewarding

Angie Torres-Beltran @angietorres.bsky.social · Jan 4
