The "Still Rethinking? The "Need for Pluralism in Economics" conference, held at the University of Greenwich, brought together economics students, academics, activists, and experts to discuss the importance of incorporating diverse perspectives and critical thinking in economics education. Over two days, attendees participated in student-led sessions focused on ecological sustainability, inequality, gender relations, global capitalism, and pluralism.

The conference featured influential speakers such as Michael Kumhof from the Bank of England, who emphasized the necessity of interdisciplinary research and the need to address current and future economic challenges. Early-career scholars and activists also presented their research and facilitated workshops on topics related to rethinking economics.

Victoria Chick, an esteemed professor from UCL, delivered a powerful closing speech, criticizing the mainstream notion of pluralism as an insignificant addition and advocating for a truly radical approach. Jakob Kapeller, a professor from the University Duisburg-Essen, shared insights into practicing pluralism in his own research, engaging in a discussion with students about curriculum change priorities.
