Description:

A comparative study carried out by the Institute of Government and Public Policy of the UAB (IGOP-UAB) with the support of the “la Caixa” Foundation has analysed how social innovation in the 0-3 years stage can improve equality and the universalisation of early childhood education and care services.

The study was coordinated by and included researchers Raquel Gallego and Lara Maestripieri (IGOP-UAB), and Sheila González Motos (UB) and analysed seven cases of social innovation initiatives in cities around the world: Barcelona, Oslo, Seine-Saint-Denis, Portsmouth, Tel Aviv, Tokyo and Venice.

The results of the research, which have been published in book format by Emerald Publishing Limited under the title "Innovation and Welfare State Retrenchment. A Comparative Analysis of Early Childhood Education and Care in Europe and Beyond", will now be presented at this event organised by the IGOP-UAB at the Palacio Macaya.

Places are limited, so please register to attend.

Book Introduction

Decolonizing Feminist Economics: Possibilities for Just Futures explores how postcolonial and decolonial critiques challenge the Western-centric foundations of feminist economics. The book addresses the intersections of colonialism, capitalism, heteropatriarchy, and ecological degradation, offering critical tools for imagining transformative alternatives. Through engagement with global struggles, it unveils our hijacked present and envisions the emergence of decolonizing feminist economic landscapes.

Transdisciplinary and innovative, it fills a crucial gap by exploring the synergy between decolonization and feminist economics — challenging growth logic, capitalism, and Eurocentrism, while opening space for just futures.https://bristoluniversitypress.co.uk/decolonizing-feminist-economics
