Becoming a feminist institutionalist

Chapter 4 in The Elgar Companion to Women and Heterodox Economics, 2025, pp 66-80 from Edward Elgar Publishing

Abstract: Over the course of my career, my research has fallen into three broad areas: heterodox economics, public policy, and economics education. I became an economist out of a desire to address real-world problems and contribute to making the world a better place. I became a heterodox economist believing that it would provide a foundation to enable me to achieve this desire and contribution. Being a woman and being heterodox have been central to my identity as an economist and have shaped my scholarship and teaching in many ways. This chapter seeks to bring together key aspects of my experiences as a heterodox woman economist with the various types of work I have done, with a focus on my becoming a feminist institutionalist.
