On April 29, Fidan Kurtulus will discuss her recent work in a talk titled “The Impact of Eliminating Affirmative Action on Minority and Female Employment and Occupational Representation: A Natural Experiment Approach Using State-Level Affirmative Action Ban Laws.”
Kurtulus is an assistant professor of economics. Her research explores a number of topics in labor economics, including the organization of workers within firms, workplace diversity, the impact of affirmative action in employment, participatory workplace practices and employee ownership.
This lecture is part of CPPA’s spring 2013 Faculty Colloquium series, which consists of informal talks, often about works-in-progress, with presenters providing a significant amount of time for audience discussion and feedback. All talks are in Thompson 620, from noon to 1 p.m. They are open to the public and brown bag lunches are welcome.
