Item Factors contributing to the use of references to diversity, inclusion, and gender issues in undergraduate economics courses: Findings from the sixth national “chalk and talk” survey(Journal of Education for Business, 2024-01-08) Ahlstrom, Laura J.; Asarta, Carlos J.; Harter, CynthiaThis study uses data from the sixth national quinquennial survey on teaching and assessment methods in economics, also known as the “chalk and talk” survey, to examine, for the first time, how instructor, departmental, and institutional characteristics may contribute to the use of references to diversity, inclusion, and gender issues in undergraduate economics courses. Findings suggest that undergraduate students are differently exposed to these issues depending on the characteristics of the instructors, departments, and institutions. Our work provides a baseline for supporting targeted interventions to increase the use of issues related to diversity, inclusion, and gender in the economics classroom.Item The Lived Experiences of Top Women Contributors to Leading Economic Education Journals(American Economist, 2022-11-21) Ferrara, Zachary; Asarta, Carlos J.Despite the substantial literature on women in economics, very little qualitative work has been devoted to exploring women’s lived experiences, and even less so on their presence in the economic education subfield. Through interviewing top female contributors to the three leading economic education journals, new insights regarding their experiences within the profession are presented, including challenges they have faced and addressed, the roles colleagues and institutions play in their scholarship, and how research itself fits into their overall careers.
