Is Economics a Sexist Science?

Hannah Bargawi (SOAS)
Before joining the Economics department, Dr. Hannah Bargawi worked at the Centre for Development Policy and Research at SOAS. She participated in the EU-funded AUGUR project, which utilised a global macroeconomic model to investigate scenarios for Europe and the world in 2030. Dr. Bargawi has been involved in numerous other research and consultancy projects for international agencies such as the Asian Development Bank, the International Labour Organisation and the United Nations Development Program.
Dr. Bargawi's current research focuses on the changing position, role and pay of both men and women in the labour market in Europe, considering whether or not recent austerity policies have had particularly gendered impacts and what an alternative, gender-equitable macroeconomic framework might look like. This is joint research project with Brussels, think-tank, FEPS.
The Feminist Political Economy and Development (FPED) research cluster brings together social science researchers and economists working on gender and feminist approaches to socio-economic transformations within the SOAS community. Academic members of this cluster aim at engaging in theoretical, political, methodological, and policy debates centred on gendered and/or feminist approaches to political economy and development processes. The cluster places particular emphasis on gendered critiques to mainstream economics, and feminist analyses of current economic transformations taking place in both developed and developing regions. The cluster also engages with up-to-date debates within feminist economics policy circles.
The cluster offers the opportunity to discuss on-going research and policy debates among colleagues in an informal setting via regular brown-bag seminars. At these meetings, we discuss relevant work on gender and feminism, we invite members to share completed and on-going research, and discuss opportunities for potential collaboration in research bids. The cluster occasionally also organises more formal events, inviting outside speakers, usually in partnership with other research clusters in the faculty and in close collaboration with the SOAS Centre for Gender Studies. Finally, the cluster is a vehicle for engaging with the SOAS Centre for Gender Studies and with those outside the SOAS community working in the area of feminist economics.
