Overcoming Climate Blah Blah Blah: A (Feminist) Radical Political Economy Assessment of Reproducing Life Under a Climate Crisis
In a world that is characterized by climate denialism, eco-fascism, and fossil capitalism, green capitalism has captured popular imagination as a silver bullet that will deliver humanity from annihilation. Yet its failure to deliver leaves open the question of “what is to be done.” I argue that focusing on the crisis of social reproduction experienced by working people decenters the productivist understanding of economy and society. It offers a m…
Revisiting class: A feminist political economy analysis of the Indian Time Use Survey
The literature on agrarian change in India has largely employed class categories based upon data on land, assets and occupational status, which collapse women's class relations into those of (mostly male) households heads. In this paper, we interrogate this understanding of class building on the work of Carmen Diana Deere. Employing the first ever national time use survey conducted in India in 2019, we interrogate class as a labour process that i…
Work and social reproduction in rural India: Lessons from time-use data
Efforts to decentre/decolonize our understanding of capitalist development in the Global South call for more complex and differentiated categories of work that acknowledge the significance of both non-waged and reproductive labour. These categories would allow us to more clearly 'see' the varying intersections of gender, class and caste within this world of work. Even as the literature on work in the Global South acknowledges the importance of fo…

Circuits of Social Reproduction: Nature, Labor, and Capitalism
This article offers a reformulation of social reproduction theory’s (SRT’s) circuit of social reproduction that is suitable for the Global South. Drawing from existing literature, the article argues that wage labor is not always central to social reproduction and that there exist multiple labors of social reproduction associated with capitalist production, noncapitalist commodity production, and subsistence production. These stylized interrelated…

Epistemic Agitations and Pedagogies for Justice: A Conversation around Hungry Translations: Relearning the World through Radical Vulnerability
This forum began as an "Author Meets Critics" at the 2019 NWSA Conference in San Francisco, where seven feminist scholar-activists from diverse locations, disciplines, and trajectories came together to discuss their unique co-journeys while exploring the daring theoretical interventions in Hungry Translations: Relearning the World Through Radical Vulnerability (HT). HT is an insightful and inspiring text authored by Richa Nagar through journeys w…
Does Land Still Matter? Gender and Land Reforms in Zimbabwe
The Fast Track Land Reform Program (FTLRP) in Zimbabwe effected changes in the racial, class, and gender structure of land ownership. However, while changes in the racial and class structure have been well explored in existing literature, their articulation to gender in the agrarian structure is not yet well understood. This is because the literature has mainly accounted for gender in relation to the formal redistribution of land to women through…
Social Reproduction and the Agrarian Question of Women's Labour in India
Using a social reproduction framework, this article explores how reproduction of rural working class households is rearticulated to capitalist production in India. Our analysis of the conditions in India reveals that the interaction of three institutions-market, state and household-has imposed the burden of reproduction on women. In turn, women's work is dependent on private and common lands. This link, between the role of women's unpaid labour i…
