About the HAPPIE conference
A conference for girls interested in history, anthropology, philosophy, political science, international relations, and economics. Only 26.2% of economists are women, and only 23% of those who major in international relations are women. In recent decades, there has been a large push to introduce girls to STEM, and I hope to create a similar opportunity for girls interested in the humanities.

Each of the speakers will speak for about 15 minutes, sharing their unique journeys through academia, business, policy, non-profits, and government. They will answer one or two questions that we will share with them ahead of time.
