Scholars Ajit Zacharias and Thomas Masterson speak at the 29th FMM Conference in Berlin: “Engendering Policy Models: Reflections on Theory and Method”
Senior Levy Scholar Ajit Zacharias participated as a featured speaker on Day 2 of Gendering Macroeconomics, held during the 29th Annual Conference of the Forum for Macroeconomics and Macroeconomic Policies (FMM). During the event, Senior Scholar Thomas Masterson also presented results from a forthcoming chapter on a comparative intersectional analysis of time and income poverty in the US and South Africa.
The conference marked an important step toward integrating gender perspectives and feminist economics within heterodox macroeconomic research. Over three days, more than 400 participants engaged in plenaries, workshops, and discussions focused on advancing inclusive and gender-aware economic analysis.
Zacharias contributed to a plenary session alongside leading economists including Ozlem Onaran, Diane Elson, Elissa Braunstein, Miriam Rehm, Ipek Ilkkaracan, Izaskun Zuazu-Bermejo, and others, exploring new approaches to understanding the intersections between macroeconomic policy, distribution, and gender equity.
Recordings of the plenary sessions, including Dr. Zacharias’s remarks, and a complete program, are available on the conference site.
