What Is the Feminist Economics School?
The school is organized by the International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE). It's designed for people who have little or no formal training in feminist economics but work on related issues in research, policy or activism.

- Feminist economic thought
- Research methods used in feminist economics
- Policy applications in real-world settings
- Reflection on their own work and practice
