AEA Member Workshops

The American Economic Association Ombuds Team, consisting of Charmhee Kim, Nnena Odim, and Brent Epperson, provides ombuds services and workshops to AEA Members. Ombuds services help members surface and resolve work-related issues. For more information about ombuds services, click here. Workshops are designed to provide information, skill development, and tools relating to conflict management and the ombuds team resource.

Upcoming Workshops

• May 20, 2025 – 3:00 pm ET to 4:00 pm ET
• “Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation – How Ombuds Support Visitors”
  
  • This workshop is designed to help members understand how ombuds can support members who experience sexual harassment, discrimination, and retaliation. We will also provide an overview of the AEA Lockbox, a secure reporting channel separate from the Ombuds Resource whereby an AEA Member can confidentially report conduct or circumstances of potential violations of the AEA Policy on Harassment, Discrimination, and Retaliation (“Policy”) or the AEA Code of Professional Conduct by another AEA Member.
