Feminist Economics

A five-part lecture series in which renowned scholar, Jayati Ghosh, guides  us through the field of feminist economics and shows how our understanding of the economy, theory and policy changes with the adoption of a gender perspective.

The key is understanding that decisions on what kinds of economic policies to support and who they benefit are all political. Other choices are available and possible. We can change and transform these agendas into policies that can benefit all women and girls throughout the world through critical analysis, fostering solidarity across communities and movements, and challenging and disrupting power imbalances within dominant global macroeconomic and development structures.

The tremendous hardships and suffering caused by the current crisis and the protests that have emerged across the country, point toward the need for a new economic vision – one that is rooted in economic justice for marginalised communities. The task of crafting a people-centred economy cannot be relegated to the realm of local ‘experts’ or international ‘saviours,’ nor can an old wineskin hold. A response to the crisis is not possible without the participation of women, on whose labour the country has relied. Therefore, consult women.
