YSI Local Hub LGBT Economic and Labor Studies

The Young Scholars Initiative (YSI) of the Local Hub and the REDINSEX LGBT Economic and Labour Studies project aim to bring together early-career researchers and practitioners working at the intersection of economics, labour, care and sexual and gender diversity. The project seeks to create a space for exchanging and discussing academic research findings, particularly empirical evidence and public policy analysis, as well as experiences of social intervention. Its goal is to strengthen the existing body of knowledge and contribute to the development of transformative initiatives in the fields of work and care. The project will connect researchers and practitioners across Latin America.
The Local Hub will take place on 26 June 2026 as part of the Second National Congress on Interdisciplinary Studies of Sexual and Gender Diversity and Dissidence, which will be held at the National University of Córdoba. Organised by the Argentine Network of Researchers on Sexual and Gender Diversities and Dissidences (REDINSEX), the Congress will provide a valuable opportunity to increase the academic, political, and regional impact of this initiative by bringing together a Latin American audience.
