Apply to attend the Urban Affairs Association Conference in Nashville, Tennessee on April 26th, 2023! The conference will be focused on Economic Inclusion, details follow below and application can be found here.

The concept of economic inclusion has been articulated in several ways, but essentially means to create equitable access to resources and opportunities that support self-sufficiency and economic security. Research on economic inclusion covers a broad range of subtopics focused on:

• Identifying and dismantling access barriers to resources, opportunities, services, and human rights (e.g., discrimination in lending and employment; access barriers to investment capital among women, Black, indigenous, and people of color; entrepreneurial ecosystems)
• Measurement and remediation of economic inequality and disparities that maintain disadvantage and marginality (e.g., gender and racial wage gaps; living wage campaigns)
• Creation of new opportunities and support structures (e.g., community-based credit unions; small business incubators; supplier diversity programs; micro-loans; mentorship programs)

This workshop is designed to expose participants to current research on economic inclusion, heighten their understanding of research challenges, and provide professional networking opportunities.
