C. Nicole Mason, PhD
President & CEO
Institute for Women's Policy Research (IWPR)
Impact of the Pandemic on Women's Work and Wellbeing
Dr. Mason, President and CEO of the Institute for Women’s Policy Research in 2019, is the youngest person to head up an inside-the-beltway think tank, and she is one of the few women of color to do so. Her two decades of research has focused on economic security, poverty, racial equity, and political participation among women, and communities of color. Under her leadership, the Institute has been a leading source of empirical data on the impacts of the pandemic of women’s labor force participation, economic insecurity, and overall well-being. Dr. Mason’s talk will focus on the pandemic recession, which she has labeled a ‘she-cession.’
