Claudio Labanca is lecturer in the Department of Economics. He joined the department in 2017 after completing his Ph.D. in Economics at the University of California, San Diego. His research falls at the intersection of labor economics and public economics and it covers a variety of topics, including wage and productivity differentials across firms, the effects of taxation on the supply of labor and the impact of migration on local labor markets. In his work he pays particular attention to the role played by the interaction between worker and firm behavior in shaping demand and supply of labor, wages and productivity. To estimate these interactions, he applies the latest econometric techniques to detailed matched employer-employee data.

Bella Aung is a doctoral student researching the relationship between political parties and ethnic women's representation in the three branches of government (legislative, executive, and judicial) in Myanmar.
Decolonizing academia and incorporating the lived experiences of indigenous and minority people into academic discourse are her ultimate goals as a researcher. Her research interests include gender and ethnic representation in North America (Canada and the United States) and Southeast Asia, particularly Myanmar (Burma).
She is also very passionate about gendered and racialized experiences of individuals with mental illnesses and/or disabilities in academia. She is a firm believer that strong mental health and wellness support needs to be continually accessible for marginalized academics.
