Webinar: What Can Qualitative Methods Bring to Feminist Economics?

Thursday 14th May 2026 at 3pm (UK time)

This webinar is organised by the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE)

The discussion will focus on why qualitative methods matter for feminist economics. Panelists will reflect on the advantages and challenges of qualitative approaches and how qualitative research can enrich feminist economic analysis by centering lived experiences, power relations, and institutional contexts that are often obscured by quantitative approaches alone.

Speakers:

Alessandra Mezzadri (SOAS, London)
Danielle Guizzo (University of Bristol and AHE Management Committee member)
Srishti Yadav (Azim Premji University, Bangalore)
Sheba Tejani (Kings College London and former AHE Management Committee member)

The event will have simultaneous translation to Spanish.

The International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) is a global community of academics, activists, policy theorists, and practitioners who share a common purpose: advancing gender-aware and inclusive economic research and policy analysis. Our aim is to foster gender equality and improve the well-being of all, particularly those facing the greatest socio-economic exclusion. The association’s award-winning journal, Feminist Economics, opens new areas of economic inquiry, fosters critical exchanges and enlarges and enriches economic discourse. 

IAFFE is a membership-based organization that was founded following the 1990 meetings of the American Economics Association in Washington, D.C. Since then, it has grown to include 800 members from over 90 countries. IAFFE’s influential network of scholars, activists, and advocates has defined and shaped feminist economics since the association’s founding and has had a tangible impact on scholarship and policy.
