We talk to Shelly Lundberg, the Leonard Broom Professor of Demography and Associate
Director of the Broom Center for Demography at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, about the long-embedded gender gaps in many professional fields, including
her own—economics. She guides us through the role that anti-discrimination
legislation has played in correcting these disparities, and addresses the
flawed ways that economists have traditionally taught and measured them. Our
Inequality in Perspective segment considers the challenges faced by Marthe
Gautier, the female French scientist believed to be the first person to discover
an extra chromosome in those with Down’s Syndrome, in having her contribution
to research duly recognized.
