We are pleased to have hosted the 20th session of our Political Economy Teach-In Series, “International Financial Institutions: Who Holds the Purse?”, on 17 October 2024 with Mayada Hassanain.
Mayada Hassanain is an economist with a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Khartoum and a postgraduate degree in Development Economics from SOAS University of London. Her research interests focus on social reproduction, the intersections of macro and social policy, and the political economy of Sudan. She is committed to advancing feminist perspectives in economic discourse and has published work in Feminist Africa. Previously a researcher with the Institute for Economic Justice (IEJ), she is currently the senior program officer with the International Development Economics Association as part of the feminist economics team.
All our sessions are recorded and you can access the previous ones on our website. The videos are in the original version, though we will be working to provide translated transcripts in Arabic, English, French, Spanish, and Portuguese to reach a wider audience
