Book Talk ‘Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures’ – register before 20 Dec. 2024

On 13 January 2025 the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG) is organising a book talk with Dr Gisela Carrasco-Miró (Escola Massana, Autonomous University of Barcelona) on Gisela’s forthcoming publication Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures (Bristol University Press, March 2025).

What are the power dynamics of what we are theorizing as feminist economics, and what changes does it generate? To what extent does it promote control and exploitation, to what extent does it promote radical socio-economic transformation, post-capitalist imaginaries and decolonization? The book takes seriously these questions, not settling for mere criticism, but developing a map for a decolonizing feminist economics approach. In its chapters, the suppression and devaluation of non-modernist and post-capitalist economic knowledges by the dominant economic epistemology is denounced, in addition to investigating feminist and decolonizing tools and proposals around the world to illuminate our hijacked present and to imagine a decolonizing feminist economic landscape that is under transformation.

The book talk will be a conversation between Gisela, Kathrin Thiele, and Ana Maria Miranda Mora. The book talk will be moderated by Adriano Habed. Please note that the book talk is closely related to the Masterclass ‘Decolonizing Feminist Futures: What kind of economies do we want?’, which will take place the next day.

Registration by e-mail closes Friday 20 December 2024, 17:00h.
