A Feminist Approach to Macroeconomics

2024

Commencing in 2024, DAWN advances research on feminist macroeconomics to respond to shifting global dynamics marked by financialisation, austerity, debt regimes, technological change, and corporate power in post-pandemic recovery. This initiative examines how such processes reshape livelihoods, deepen inequalities, threaten planetary boundaries, and reinforce gendered divisions of labour, while questioning the role of states, International Financial Institutions, and transnational corporations.

To anchor this work, DAWN is building a resource hub for more than 10 case studies, creating a collective knowledge base for a global South feminist approach to macroeconomics. The project has hosts one international webinar and plans to convene another, engaging movements and allies in dialogue. True to DAWN’s tradition, this effort seeks not only to critique dominant policies but also to construct transformative frameworks rooted in justice, sustainability, and feminist analysis.
