Working with Student Researchers
Professor Ama Baafra Abeberese, Wellesley ’04, is an Associate Professor of Economics and holder of the Class of 1966 research grant. In this intriguing presentation, she first told us about her path from Ghana to Wellesley to Lehman Brothers to Columbia and back to Wellesley. She discussed the interests that led her to microeconomics and to research into the importance of infrastructure to a country's economy. And then she described research in which she incorporates students in her projects. She told us about the kinds of projects students worked on--and the kinds they preferred to work on.
