JUNE EVENT PHOTOS

June’s global theme: Punk

Columbus speaker: Joyce Chen

Joyce Chen is a recovering economist. She has a Bachelors degree in economics from Brown University and earned her PhD at Harvard University. After spending 15 years in an economics department, the COVID-19 pandemic pushed Joyce to re-evaluate her work… and pivot. 

After a brief leave doing research at Amazon, she is now a Professor in the Department of Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies at THE Ohio State University. Her research has addressed climate vulnerability, migration, women’s empowerment, and inequality. 

Joyce is a five year member of Governor Dewine’s Economic Roundtable and serves on the boards for Action for Children, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Ohio, and Matriots Education Fund, as well as the advisory council for Children’s Defense Fund of Ohio.
