Where to Find News, Events, and Contact Information for Harvard's Economics Department

Updated

The Harvard Department of Economics website (economics.harvard.edu) is the department's official home for news, events, and contact details. Use the site's main navigation to reach news and events sections, and look for a contact or people directory area for department and staff contact information. The exact menu labels and page paths are not confirmed in the available site data, so treat the steps below as a navigation strategy rather than a fixed map.

Finding News and Events

The site is structured as a departmental site, which typically groups timely content under a news or events heading. To locate it:

  1. Open economics.harvard.edu.
  2. Scan the primary navigation bar for labels such as "News," "Events," or "Calendar."
  3. If no direct link appears, check the homepage for featured announcements, which often link to fuller news pages.
  4. For seminars and talks, look for a dedicated seminars, workshops, or calendar section, since economics departments usually list recurring research events separately from general news.

What to expect from event listings: seminar and workshop pages generally name the speaker, topic, date, time, and location or format. Listings may be organized by research area or by series. Because the available site data does not confirm specific section names or whether listings are public, verify by browsing the live site rather than assuming a fixed structure.

Locating Contact Information

Contact details for a university department are usually split between general department inquiries and individual faculty or staff.

  • General contact: Look for a "Contact" link in the navigation or footer, or a department address and phone number on the homepage or an "About" page.
  • People and faculty: Use a faculty or people directory to find individual researchers, their email addresses, and office locations. This is also the path for the question of how to find faculty and researchers on the site.
  • Administrative staff: Graduate program administrators and staff contacts are often listed under program or admissions pages rather than the main contact page.

If a page lists only a mailing address, check subpages for program-specific contacts before concluding that no email is available.

Practical Tips

  • Use the site's own search function if one is present; it is often faster than guessing menu labels.
  • Bookmark the events or calendar page if you plan to follow seminars regularly.
  • Cross-check contact details against the specific program page (undergraduate, graduate, or research) relevant to your inquiry, since routing differs by topic.

The available site data does not include confirmed page paths, pricing, or login requirements, so confirm all specifics on the live site before relying on them.
