IWER News and Events
IWER in the News: At a time when workplace issues and the consequences of persistent inequality are front-page news, IWER’s multi-stakeholder approach to work and employment issues continues to be of enormous relevance, and IWER faculty are frequently quoted and published in major media outlets.
IWER Events: During the academic year, IWER sponsors a long-standing weekly research seminar series on work and employment topics. We also cosponsor a “Building a Better World of Work” speaker series with MIT Sloan’s People & Organizations Club.
