FT Scholars at the Institute's Human After All conference
In April 2014, the Financial Times supported the Young Scholars Initiative by sponsoring scholarships for seven students from around the world to attend the Institute’s Human After All conference in Toronto. With more than 600 submissions, interest was overwhelming. Applicants were asked to pose a question that concerned fundamental issues in economics as a discipline, current events related to economics, or specific problems such as financial stability or inequality. Each question was supported a brief paragraph, framing and contextualizing the issue.
At the Human After all conference, the seven selected scholars led the FT YSI Roundtable with Martin Wolf, during which their questions were discussed.
In these short interviews, our FT scholarship recipients talk about their question to Martin Wolf, their own research interests, and their experiences at the conference.
