Welcome to the first episode of the revival of the Lifting Up: the Women in Economics Initiative podcast in which we cover the latest research in gender economics and inspiring career paths of female and non-binary economists. In this episode, we have hosted Majune Socrates, a Kenyan economist to give us an insight into his database “Economics scholarship in Kenya since 1960: Dynamics and Insights” on tracking the work of Kenyan economists. We have discussed how the database came about, what are the first results, and plans for the future.
