We’re working with Stir to Action to offer FOUR fully funded places on the Intersectional Economics workshop in London on 21 November 2018!
This workshop, which is part of the New Economy Programme, will teach you how to re-examine economic policy, from the local to the global through an intersectional feminist lens.
Black African women earn 19.6% less than White British Men. Black, Asian and Ethnic Minority women have been disproportionately impacted by local government cuts. More than half a million disabled people would like to work more. Unpaid carers provide £57 billion worth of social care a year.
Economic theory has been the preserve of white men for centuries and as it stands, our economy only deepens social inequalities.
So how can we make sure our new economics work for everyone?
The session is led by Polly Trenow, a campaigner on gender inequality and the economy. She is on the Management Committee of the Women’s Budget Group who scrutinise government economic policies from a feminist perspective. She has previously worked for the Fawcett Society, the London School of Economics and Politics (LSE), Maternity Action, the New Economy Organisers Network (NEON), the UK Gender and Development Network and a number of other charities, schools and universities, and local governments.
To apply, simply tell us a couple of sentences about why you want to attend this workshop. Places will be allocated on a rolling basis.
