Please register for your ticket here: AGM (Hybrid) Tickets, Tue 8 Nov 2022 at 17:00 | Eventbrite. Further details about the in-person event and distribution of the Zoom link will be sent out soon.

We are delighted to announce our guest speaker, Yelda Yucel, who is an Associate Professor of Economics at Istanbul Bilgi University. Yelda has publications in national and international journals and books on economics crises, labour markets, gender economics and gender responsive budgeting. Among many of their achievements, Yelda took part in the preparation of the “Gender and Economics” course for the UN Women and has been an instructor of the course since 2017. Currently, Yelda is a member of Feminist Academicians and Researchers working on women’s labor (KEFA) in Turkey, International Association for Feminist Economics (IAFFE) and European Gender Budgeting Network (EGBN). Yelda will primarily be discussing experiences from Turkey in terms of what is working well and what challenges are faced to bring gender analysis into economic and finance processes as well as lessons we can learn.
