As part of St Swithun’s external speakers programme we have the pleasure of inviting Old Girls, their families and friends to a talk entitled ‘Salvaging Brexit – The Right Way to Leave the EU’ by Dr Swati Dhingra, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, The London School of Economics on Tuesday, 23rd May 2017 in Harvey Hall. There will be refreshments available from 7pm and the talk will begin at 7.30pm. 

If you would like to secure a seat at this topical and interesting talk, please email your interest to oga@stswithuns.com.

Prior to joining LSE, Dr Dhingra’s career has included being a Fellow at Princeton University, USA, Associate Editor of The Journal of International Economics and she is a member of the Centre for Economic Policy and Research, The Royal Economic Society and International Growth Commission.

Following completion of her MS and PhD in Economics at the University of Wisconsin‐Madison, USA, her research interests have focused on the areas of international economics, globalisation and industrial and trade policy.

Over the past 2 years, Dr Dhingra has been widely published with regard to the implications of leaving the EU and life after BREXIT. Her talk will focus on her most recently published article entitled ‘Salvaging Brexit ‐ The Right Way to Leave the EU’.

At a time when it has been suggested that female economists are less likely to be tenured compared to male peers, less likely to remain in academia after earning their PhDs and the field of economics leading the male/female gender gap in terms of tenure rates, salaries, and job satisfaction amongst all math‐intensive disciplines, we are delighted to have Dr Dhingra join us and listen to her views on university degrees, research and careers in economics.
