Global policy workshop on March 11
The Freeman Center for International Economic Policy will sponsor a global policy workshop with Assistant Professor Greta Friedemann-Sanchez from 12:45 to 2 p.m. on March 11 in the Stassen Room (170 HHH). All are welcome to attend.
Her research on rural development in Latin America (Colombia) explores the links between agro-industrial employment in the context of structural adjustment programs and the individual and gendered experience of employment and socioeconomic development and change at the household level. Specifically, Friedemann-Sanchez looks at the role of property ownership, social capital, and domestic abuse in the intrahousehold bargaining process. She also studies family caregivers of U.S. service members who have sustained polytraumatic and blast related injuries, exploring the socioeconomic and health related costs and benefits of being a caregiver.
