Interestingly, he discovered his passion for economics after finishing a doctoral degree in physics, which led him to pursue a PhD in this field at UBC. Since then he has been actively doing research in several subfields of economics, mostly economic development, the economics of gender, and evolutionary economics. After being unable to find a text that comprehensively treated the core issues relevant to women and their role in the economy, he set about writing one himself; \u201cWhy Gender Matters in Economics\u201d, published by Princeton University Press in 2014. In his research, Mukesh seeks to theoretically understand the mechanisms responsible for various phenomena in the social sciences.<\/p>\n<p><em>All are welcome!<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Kind regards,<\/p>\n<p>Shristee<\/p>\n<p><strong>Shristee\u00a0Rahman<\/strong>\u00a0\u00a0MFRE<br \/>\nEducational Researcher<br \/>\nLand and Food Systems\u00a0|\u00a0Master of Food and Resource Economics<br \/>\nThe University of British Columbia | Vancouver Campus<br \/>\n348A-2357 Main Mall\u00a0|\u00a0Vancouver British Columbia\u00a0|\u00a0V6T 1Z4 Canada<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:shristee.rahman@ubc.ca\">shristee.rahman@ubc.ca<\/a><br \/>\n<u><a href=\"http:\/\/mfre.landfood.ubc.ca\">http:\/\/mfre.landfood.ubc.ca<\/a><\/u><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MFRE Speaker Series Speaker:\u00a0Dr.\u00a0Mukesh Eswaran, Vancouver School of Economics, UBC Topic:\u00a0State Complicity in the Sexual Assault of Women: The Fate of Cassandra?
