Feminist economy congress

Countdown to the Congress of Feminist Economics to be held for the first time in the city of Barcelona from 16 to 18 March 2023, facilitated by the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, in collaboration with the UOC Barcelona Open Chair in Digital Economy promoted by the Barcelona City Council, with the aim of continuing to strengthen the link between the academic and socio-economic world of the city.

Feminist economics has made significant contributions to date. The analysis of the feminist theory of the economic model, and globalization; the questioning of “homo economicus”; the conception of the economic, and the alienation of the economic system, with putting the sustainability of life, and the provision of needs, at the center of the economic system; the balance between the productive and reproductive systems; the system and distribution of care; environmental sustainability; The economic democratization of business organization and gender mainstreaming in public institutions and economic policies, among others, are just one example.

Without losing sight of previous experiences and contributions, the VIII Congress of Feminist Economics will pay special attention to the readings of the Economy from the feminist theory of technology, the digital economy and the digitalization of life.
