CAUGHT BETWEEN THE DIGITAL REVOLUTION AND A CRISIS OF DEMOCRACY:
FEMINIST ECONOMICS RESPONSES AND IMAGINATIONS FOR THE FUTURE
IAFFE’s 2024 Conference aspires to provoke critical reflection on feminist economics responses to two defining features of the current economic and political landscape:
(1) the technological breakthroughs of a digital economy on the one hand, and (2) a crisis of democracy, political polarization and backlash on the other. The conference also invites reflections on feminist economics imaginations for the future, inspired and provoked by utopian and dystopian visions of the economy from film and literature.
IAFFE’s Annual Conferences are thoughtfully crafted to offer an inclusive platform where ideas flow freely, and where research pertaining to feminist perspectives on economic matters finds its voice and audience. IAFFE is dedicated to fostering an environment that encourages the exchange of ideas and the wide dissemination of research, in the spirit of advancing a feminist approach in economics.
