Beyond GDP: Naila Kabeer in Conversation with Míde Griffin
In our second episode, we are excited to bring together two IAFFE members, Naila Kabeer and Míde Griffin, for an engaging conversation on Naila’s influential career, gender justice frameworks, and the well-being economy.
Dr. Naila Kabeer, Professor Emeritus at LSE, has been a pioneer in integrating gender justice frameworks in development policy and international debates. In the episode, she gives insight into her intellectual curiosities and questions that led to her remarkable career focusing on gender, poverty, labor markets, and social protection.
Interviewing Dr. Kabeer is Míde Griffin, a PhD student in Economics at Trinity College Dublin. Having met in an IAFFE mentorship group, the two engage in conversation on connecting research with the ‘real’ world, why Naila got her PhD in Population Studies after studying economics for her undergraduate and master’s degrees, and Naila’s opinion on the term ‘scholarly activism’. They discuss the importance of mentoring, the limitations of studying economics, and how evidence can help feminist economics stand firm in the face of gender backlash and misinformation.
A through line in the episode is imagining an economy where individuals have the right to dignified lives and where care work is recognized. The hopeful outlook on what is possible radiates from both of them, and we hope, inspires listeners.
