Economic Freedom and Women

April 30 @ 6:00 pm8:00 pm
Free

Join us in Nashville for an event with Dr. Meg Tuszynski, Managing Director of the Bridwell Institute for Economic Freedom in the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University. 

During this event, Dr. Tuszynski will explore how economic freedom uniquely impacts women across different countries and contexts. While most research focuses on how economic freedom affects the average individual, growing evidence suggests that its effects can differ meaningfully for women.

Drawing on a multi-year research initiative, this discussion will examine how economic freedom relates to women’s rights, fertility choices, education, entrepreneurship, and participation in the workforce. The project brings together insights from a series of commissioned papers that highlight the varied experiences of women around the world.

The conversation will also explore how this work is shaping a broader research agenda on women and economic freedom and what it reveals about the conditions that support greater opportunity, autonomy, and human flourishing.

About the Speaker

Meg Tuszynski is the Managing Director of the Bridwell Institute for Economic Freedom in the Cox School of Business at Southern Methodist University. She is also a Research Assistant Professor in the Cox School. Meg’s research interests primarily fall into two categories. One category of research seeks to understand the causes and consequences of variations in economic freedom across nations, states, and localities. A second strand of research seeks to advance our understanding of entangled political economy, which analyzes the inextricable intertwining of commercial and political interests. Meg has published research in Public Choice, the Southern Economic Journal, the Journal of Entrepreneurship and Public Policy, the Journal of Regional Analysis and Policy, and the American Journal of Entrepreneurship, among several others. She has also published popular pieces in outlets including Investors Business Daily, the Washington Examiner, the Dallas Morning News, and the Daily Caller.

Meg earned her PhD, MA in economics, BA in economics, and BA in philosophy from George Mason University.
