Policymaking is guided by many approaches. Research into any particular area can no longer be framed by a select number of disciplines, or exclusively through abstract models. The texts featured here are influenced by philosophy, theories on complexity, and heterodox economics. They are tools to reset our thought processes, to engage our doubts, and to broaden debate.
In this presentation, I will be discussing the philosophies and aesthetics of visualising the unseen. While my modality of working is attentive to feminist concerns, this presentation forms part of a larger project involving transport, geo-politics and technologies of power. https://vimeo.com/574437633
We do not just think about the world,; we do not engage with others remotely; we are not disembodied selves. We are in the world. And economics is foremost a social science, despite a veneer of rigorous abstractions and technicalities that make up the bulk of the discipline’s claims to logical coherence. Feminist economics is not economics for women. Feminist economics scrutinises the foundational principles of economics through a gender lens to upend entrenched misconceptions the perpetuate socio-economic and political inequities. Gender is one account of social stratification that intersects with other markers of identity, including race, sexual orientation, age or ability.
