Political Economy Futures Forum
About Us
The Political Economy Futures Forum (PEFF) is a sustained, self-aware community of researchers committed to addressing big, enduring questions about the relationship between the economy and society. We share a common research interest in political economy and its potential to build democratic, equitable, and sustainable economies and organizations. PEFF represents a University-wide platform for promoting political economy research and its role in tackling current and future challenges. As a College of Social Science Interdisciplinary Research Theme, we are a core strategic initiative at the University of Glasgow. PEFF is led and run by a team of early and mid-career scholars, and we aim to develop skills and capabilities for PGRs and early career researchers, as well as foster collaboration across the University. We hope to consolidate our shared expertise to establish and promote excellent research while generating wider societal benefits.
