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.

What if you and you community owned its own banks and corporations? How can the collective approach of cooperative business models and banking in the public interest work together? Why would these make a difference for women?

Join us for a conversation about building shared economies between AEOO advisory board members Jamila Medley, of the Philadelphia Area Cooperative; Jhumpa Bhattacharya, of The Insight Center for Community Development in Oakland; Emma Chappell, of the Public Banking Institute; and Susan Harman, a public banking activist in Oakland.
