We are excited to announce the 2024 Routledge Inclusive Economics Prize

At Routledge, Taylor & Francis, we have a long and established heritage of publishing reputable, pluralist Economics research which challenges mainstream thinking. At a time when the importance of diversity and inclusion has never been more pertinent, publishing research which combats elitism and marginalisation is of paramount importance. We want to encourage, promote, and help fund research which is inclusive– inclusive of diversity, plurality, and new approaches.

Our 2023 winner has just been announced. Read all about the winning proposal, and what winning the prize meant to our winner here
