CFP: New mergers of feminism and finance, May 2026

New mergers of feminism and finance.
London School of Economics and Political Science, 8 May 2026.


Rachel O’Neill and Simidele Dosekun are organising an event on feminism and finance.

Looking across the contemporary media and cultural landscape, new ‘mergers’ of feminism and finance appear to be afoot. Across a variety of national contexts, promulgated by diverse actors operating through multiple media forms, women are being called to become savvy about and confident in matters of money management, or presenting and promoting themselves as such – as savers, investors, homeowners, speculators, traders, venture capitalists, fintech innovators and more. Through such representations and practices, women are being asked to invest in finance as the best means to secure themselves, now and into the future. This one-day symposium aims to bring together an interdisciplinary cohort of scholars interested in the shifting interplay and developing entente between feminism and finance.

Abstracts should be submitted via this form by 23 March 2026. For further information, please contact r.o.neill@lse.ac.uk.
