Masterclass ‘Decolonizing Feminist Futures: What kind of economies do we want?’ by Dr Gisela Carrasco-Miró – register before 20 Dec. 2024

On 14 January 2025 the Netherlands Research School of Gender Studies (NOG) is organising a masterclass with Dr. Gisela Carrasco-Miró (Escola Massana, Autonomous University of Barcelona) on the topic of ‘Decolonizing Feminist Futures: What kind of economies do we want?’ Please note that this masterclass is closely related to the book talk ‘Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures’ on the preceding day.

This masterclass will explore the imagination as an economic faculty. Imagination is understood here not as an individual capacity, but a social, common practice, creating relationships of meaning. What can imagination be, as a practice of decolonizing feminist economic transformation, in conditions of growing crisis and isolation?

With the aim of addressing this question, this masterclass invites the participants to imagine new, better economies and to vindicate shared feminist futures looking at the projects of post-extractivism, ecofeminism and post-growth/degrowth from a decolonizing feminist perspective.

The participants will be encouraged to share their research, practices and interests. Together, we will create space for confabulative dialogues activating feminist imaginaries of the future in the present. Suggested reading (text will be made available upon registration): Carrasco-Miró, G. 2025. Glossary for confabulating futures. Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures. Bristol: Bristol University Press.

Registration by e-mail closes Friday 20 December 2024, 17:00h. (R)MA and PhD students are eligible to receive 2 ECTS for active participation in both the masterclass and the lecture as well as for writing a 1000-words (max.) entry of the glossary that will be discussed during the masterclass. Please specify in your registration email whether you would like to receive credits.
