More information about the Festival:

In 2022, the Festival will be held on the 16th and 17th of September at Wits University in Johannesburg. The Festival’s programme, on both the Friday and Saturday, will be packed with transformative content and great speakers, so don’t miss out! Please be sure to register for both days separately in the ticketing section.

The Festival will serve as a platform for critical engagement with the economics discipline and with the economy in general, and will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas and tools on how to build a movement for rethinking economics in our universities and society more broadly. 2022 will see the fifth iteration of the Festival and will host a diverse range of local and international speakers including student activists, prominent academics and civil society organisations. You can find out more on the Festival Portal here.

The event is hosted by the Institute for Economic Justice in partnership with the Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung South Africa, Rethinking Economics for Africa student chapters, the South African Research Chair in Industrial Development (SARChI), the Southern Centre for Inequality Studies and Wits University.
