The increasing importance of finance has been widely recognized both in political terms and in the growing body of academic work around the concept of financialization.
This discussion, organised by the Political Economy, Work and Working Lives Cluster at Maynooth University, brings together a number of researchers to discuss how they conceptualise financialization and how they make use of that conceptualization in their work.
Short inputs from each of the researchers will kick off the session, followed by an open, informal discussion.
The event is open to all and registration is not required. For information email michael.byrne@mu.ie
