About the Remote-Only Conference

For the first time, IAFFE will host its Remote-Only Conference separately from the in-person conference. This approach creates a focused and intentional space to engage with this year’s theme: Social Justice through Solidarity: Cultivating Solidarity within Feminist Economics. 

By holding the remote conference in advance of the in-person gathering, we’re making space for remote presenters to take center stage and for audience members to participate meaningfully in both formats. This structure supports IAFFE’s ongoing commitment to global inclusion, especially at a time when political and logistical barriers may prevent some from traveling or participating in person.

Now more than ever, it’s crucial that we maintain and expand our platforms for feminist economic thought to thrive. The virtual conference helps ensure that voices from across the world can continue to contribute, connect, and challenge economic paradigms, without being limited by geography. IAFFE remains committed to making our conferences accessible, impactful, and representative of our diverse global community.

Participants can expect:

• Presentation of feminist economic research from diverse regions
• Opportunities for dialogue, learning, and critical engagement
• Interactive sessions designed to foster creativity and collaboration
• Connection with members of the IAFFE network and broader communities
• A shared space for reflection, solidarity, and the exchange of idea

Who Should Attend

The Remote-Only Conference is open to anyone interested in feminist economics and related areas of social and economic justice. This includes:

• Economists, researchers, and academics
• Policy makers and practitioners
• Students and educators
• Civil society actors and development professionals
