Hossein in Boston
This past Monday, May 5th, Dr. Caroline Shenaz Hossein was in Boston to deliver the inaugural lecture as the Ujima Feminist Economics Fellow.
Entitled Our Kind of Investing: Cooperative Finance in the Hands of Black Women, Dr. Hossein spoke about how Black and racialized women have long been at the forefront of informal banking systems, building collective wealth through mutual aid and cooperative finance, and how these historical practices continue to shape solidarity economies today.
This event was organized by The Ujima Boston Project, and hosted by Frugal Books in Roxbury - a cultural hub for Black folks in Boston.
