Feminist Economics Summer School (FESS) 2022

The Institute for Economic Justice’s (IEJ's) Feminist Economics Summer
School (FESS) responds the failure of economic orthodoxy to consider gendered economic analysis and approaches in a number of ways.
It draws on historical and contemporary debates in both feminist economics
and feminist political economy to challenge orthodoxy in economic
thinking that is narrowly focused on the market economy, growth
and accumulation as its primary goals. In addition, by focusing on the
provisioning of human needs and human wellbeing, and bringing
feminist pedagogical and analytical tools into the deconstruction and
reframing of basic neoliberal assumptions, the school broadens the
discussion on the progressive development of society. It further ensures key topics in both micro and macro feminist economics are covered with the aim of actively contributing to the theoretical and methodological innovations in
the feminist economics, while ensuring contextual relevance to the global south is included.
