The ROCKWOOL Foundation Berlin – Institute for the Economy and Future of Work (RFBerlin) invites you to its Annual Public Lecture 2025, held in collaboration with Humboldt University of Berlin.
This year’s lecture features Nobel Prize laureate Claudia Goldin, Professor of Economics at Harvard University and one of the world’s leading labour economists and economic historians.
In her talk, “Why Women Won,” Professor Goldin will explore the question: How did we move from a world in which discrimination against women was not recognized as an issue, in which women were routinely and legally fired when they were married or when they became pregnant, and in which they could not always get a credit card in their name or pick their own name legally, to the world we now live in, however imperfect?
Join an evening of insight and inspiration with one of the most influential voices in applied labour economics.
Participation is free of charge, registration is advised.
Time: 16:00 – 18:00, Tuesday 4 November 2025.
Location: Humboldt University, Spandauer Straße 1, 10178 Berlin; Lecture Hall 201.
