This month is Pride Month! We’re showcasing papers which look to promote awareness of the LGBTQ+ community, and push for equality. We’re also adding papers more generally about human rights.
We have a Pride Month special topic Hub on SSRN, which curates many different papers on the same theme, and presents them as a collection. You can find that hub here.
Below are the papers we’ve showcased on our Twitter so far. Papers will be added as they come through. If you have a paper you’d like shared, let us know at ideas@ssrn.com.
