The Gender of Capital
Author, Céline Bessière, is a professor of sociology at Université Paris-Dauphine and a senior member of the Institut Universitaire de France. She will be presenting her book "The Gender of Capital".
Why do women still accumulate less wealth than men? Combining quantitative, ethnographic, and archival research, "The Gender of Capital" explains how and why, in all social classes, women are economically disadvantaged compared to their husbands, fathers, and brothers. The reasons lie in unfair economic arrangements that occur in divorce proceedings, estate planning, and other crucial situations where law and family life intersect.
The presentation will be given in English.
