IAFFE’s Fireside Chat with editors of the recently released special issue of Feminist Economics on global reproductive justice. Editors Rishita Nandagiri, Leigh Senderowicz, and Wendy Sigle will reflect on the state of research in feminist economics with respect to reproductive justice, what they learned through the process of curating this special issue and what possibilities they see for bringing the reproductive justice literature into closer conversation with feminist economics. This discussion comes at a critical time in the global landscape, and will provide insights on how the reproductive justice framework and interdisciplinary engagement can help forge a new agenda for feminist economists, researchers, and activists.
