Greetings,
In response to Dawn DeTienne's posting regarding inclusion in ENT research, I'm sharing The Economist's recent article on a study regarding professional inclusion in the American Economics Association (AEA). It's a sobering article reflecting on research regarding inclusion in the economics field. The article is transparent, balanced, and suggestive regarding the lack of inclusion in the economics field.
I suggest that the ENT Division consider a similar study of our field. The AEA study researched metrics and opinions from Ph.D students all the way to full professor. Perhaps our leadership on this topic may become a model and a replicable template for the rest of the AOM community.
Best,
Alejandro Amezcua
