11:00 KEYNOTE SPEECH: RESEARCH PRESENTATION Gender equity: the pathway to sustainable entrepreneurship , Professor of Social Sustainability, University of Surrey Sustainability is no longer enough.
We need nothing less than the regeneration of our planet to repair the damage wrought by our extractive and destructive global systems () and ensure that the needs of all are met within the means of the Earth (Raworth, 2018). Yet this cannot happen without the creation of more equal societies, and in particular, without equity between genders.
We will not achieve the sustainability, let alone the regeneration of our damaged ecologies and environments, nor attain inclusive economic or social sustainability without embracing a decolonised feminist ethics of care.
This keynote will discuss the role of feminist alternative economics (Kalish & Cole, 2022) in creating a purpose economy, which serves people and planet and reflect on the critical linkages between gender, entrepreneurship and social policy and pathways to sustainable futures
