The Exploring Gender, Human Capital, and Labour Intersections in Economic History winter school is an interdisciplinary meeting of economists and historians focused on discussing the interplay between gender, human capital, and labour. To understand how these developed over the past centuries, it is necessary to understand how they are linked and interact with each other, as observing them in isolation provides only a partial picture. The winter school will provide a platform for scholars to share research, approaches, and methodologies for studying labour, gender inequalities, and the evolution of human capital. It comprises two days of academic presentations and a one-day methodological workshop. The methodological workshop consists of two parallel sessions: the first will explore the ways in which marginalized groups can be included in linked census datasets, while the second will provide insight into the processes of saving primary source material and establishing a digital archive.
 
Keynotes will be given by:
 Jane Humphries | London School of Economics
 Dácil Juif | Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
 
Methodological workshops will be given by:
 Ryah Thomas | WU Wien
 Bruno Witzel de Souza | Georg-August-University Göttingen
