Economic Concerns and Narratives: From Distraction to Dialogue
The Institute for Integrated Transitions (IFIT) is pleased to invite you to Economic Concerns and Narratives: From Distraction to Dialogue, an online event hosted by our Narrative Peacebuilding Hub.
Misinformation and fears about financial insecurity are undermining the quality of public conversations about economic issues in many parts of the world and producing political instability. Drawing on experiences from a range of disciplines and regions, Sara Cobb and Alexandre Marc of IFIT’s Inclusive Narratives Practice Group and Godfrey Kanyenze of IFIT’s Zimbabwe Resource Group will reflect on the role of narratives in obscuring economic realities and stoking conflict. They will propose narrative and other strategies for encouraging more constructive dialogue to address economic issues and fears.
Date: Thursday, January 30, 2025, 10:00–11:00 EST / 16:00–17:00 CET
