FSN 2022: Programme available

Events

Intersections of finance and society, 2022.
City, University of London, 15-16 September.

A preliminary programme for this year’s conference is now available here. There are limited places for those not on the programme who may wish to attend. If you would like to join the conference, please register here.

Events of recent years have highlighted how central money, debt, and finance are to the workings of contemporary society. Financial and economic policy occupied a key place in the response to the public health crisis triggered by Covid-19. In the current re-emergence of geopolitical conflict, the strategic deployment of financial power plays a crucial role. Other trends, such as the growth of personal debt, continue to reshape the structures of modern life in profound ways. These developments signal the need for a continued deepening of the conversation among the diverse perspectives that have emerged in the interdisciplinary study of finance. After a two-year hiatus, the 5th annual FSN conference once more brings together an international community of scholars to extend and deepen the field of finance and society studies.
