Carl Snyder Memorial Lecture

The Carl Snyder Memorial Lecture is named for noted economic authority and author Carl Snyder, who died in 1946. Established in 1960 with a bequest from the estate of Snyder’s wife, Madeleine Raisch, the memorial is used to bring to the campus an outstanding lecturer in the field of economics. Nick Bloom, a Professor of Economics at Stanford University, has been researching working from home for almost 20 years, winning a Guggenheim Fellowship for this in 2022. He has been heavily involved with policy, including speaking in the White House 2014 Working Families Summit. Has consulted with 100s of CEOs and managers, and has been covered extensively on working from home by international media. He was called the “Prophet of remote work” by Fortune Magazine and “America’s best work-from-home expert” by Business Insider.

This year’s lecture ,“How Working from Home Will Work Out”, is on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 3:00pm in the Loma Pelona Center on the UCSB Campus. Professor Bloom will discuss the past, present and future of working from home in the US. See details and RSVP for the event here https://econ.ucsb.edu/snyder.
