TREES Teaching and Researching
Equitable Economics
from the South

TREES is an initiative that brings together research, teaching, and outreach to understand and transform inequalities from a Latin American perspective. We work to ensure knowledge flows between the Global South and Global North, connecting ideas, people, and places around a shared purpose: building more just, cohesive, and sustainable societies.
