This event was recorded live. As some feminist epistemologists (Gilligan, Belenky et al.) have taught us, seeing and seeking connections seems to be women’s ways of knowing. Our economics is lived in real complex communities. Our goal is to model how women can talk together and learn together about traditionally male territory still new to most women. Together we can construct a fuller knowledge and set of values now omitted from the mainstream “free market.” To that end, we're making the webinar—and will make all of them moving forward—available here for viewing forevermore.

Financiers and investors have traditionally been male and remain so when guarding the assets of the largest global investors on Wall Street. If you or your state or your company are growing pensions, it's likely you're investing in global fossil fuels and the military industrial complex without knowing it.
A growing number of women are learning how to actively invest their values. Learn how they're growing the livelihoods of local communities, women and BIPOC entrepreneurs, and companies that care about the environment, fair and inclusive governance, and sustainability.
