The American Tax Policy Institute is pleased to announce a Symposium on “Revealing and Addressing Hidden Gender Bias in Tax Law and Policy” to be held on October 17 and 18, 2024, in Washington, DC, at the offices of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP.
This program will explore the intersections between and among gender, taxation, and public policy. The goal of the Symposium is to shine a spotlight on gender issues in taxation and to bring consideration of gender impacts into mainstream discussions surrounding the enactment and administration of tax law and policy. The scope of the Symposium is broad, focusing not only on gender issues in U.S. tax law but also on gender issues in the tax laws of other countries; it will consider all taxes, including income, consumption, transfer, wealth-related, or other national-level taxes, as well as subnational taxes.
The Symposium will be held from 4:00-6:30 p.m. on Thursday, October 17, 2024 and 8:15 a.m.-4:15 p.m. on Friday, October 18, 2024.
The Thursday program will comprise a research roundtable featuring principally academic papers from graduate students, junior scholars and those new to work at the intersection of gender, taxation, and policy. The second day of the Symposium, will consist of a policy-oriented program of panel discussions bringing together academics, practicing attorneys, economists, accountants, policy makers, legislators and others to consider issues related to gender and taxation and to consider strategies for incorporation of gender-related concerns into everyday tax policy discourse.
