Feminist Economics – What, How, and Why

Halo SobatFEB! Welcome to the fifth episode of the Podcast Ilmu Ekonomi (PIE) of FEB UGM where we delve into a pivotal topic that is feminist economics (What, How, and Why). In this episode, Dr. Sarah Small, an assistant professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Utah and a book review editor for Feminist Economics joins us as the esteemed speaker.

Feminist economics stands as a formidable challenge to the male dominance in economics, highlighting its historical oversight of important women’s economic issues and critiquing the androcentric biases in economic research methods. This approach aims to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the economy by encompassing critical dimensions such as gender perceptions, care, love, violence, power, and their impact on economic organization. It’s benefiting not only those with a keen interest in gender-related topics but also anyone seeking a more accurate portrayal of the economy beyond mainstream economics.
