“Pluriversal Political Economy”
The pluriverse—the idea that distinct ontological starting points give rise to systemic ways of knowing and being—has been establishing itself as a concept in English language scholarship over the
Thinking freedom relationally
The field of International Studies has often been concerned with either negative conceptualisations of freedom and liberty (i.e. freedom from obstacles and interference) or positive notions of freedom (i.e. the possibility to act and develop). Further, these two notions of freedom have been conceived of as rival and incompatible. Drawing upon Simone de Beauvoir’s ethics of ambiguity (1947), this article rejects such a binary conceptualisation of …
Building the pluriverse with care
The decolonial concept of the pluriverse challenges the idea of a single world with different paradigms, and instead points to a matrix of multiple distinct yet connected worlds. In so doing, the pluriverse highlights radical ontological and epistemological difference and the implications of such difference for politics. Care and the Pluriverse: Rethinking Global Ethics, my own contribution to decolonial scholarship in international political the…
Rethinking the political in the pluriverse
Postfoundational political thought is characterized by a distinction between “politics” (a socio-symbolic order that delineates what is knowable and thinkable) and “the political” (the instantiation of a socio-symbolic order). This article critically engages with the postfoundational thought of Jacques Rancière to rethink “the political” in the context of the pluriverse, a matrix of multiple distinct yet interconnected worlds. In so doing, this a…
Care, politics, and the political
Mobilizing a distinction between "politics," understood as the socio-symbolic reality as it is already acknowledged, and "the political," which instead has to do with the establishment of a particular social order that delineates what counts as politics in the first place, this article considers the COVID-19 global pandemic to assert that care is not only about politics or doing politics differently. Rather, following the work of Estelle Ferrares…
Feminist Care Ethics Confronts Mainstream Philosophy
The central role of care in human history is beyond questioning [...]
Violence and Care
According to Frantz Fanon, the psychological and social-political are deeply intertwined in the colonial context. Psychologically, the colonizers perceive the colonized as inferior and the colonized internalize this in an inferiority complex. This psychological reality is co-constitutive of and by material relations of power—the imaginary of inferiority both creates and is created by colonial relations of power. It is also in this context that vi…
Intersectionality, health equity, and EDI
Many countries adopted comprehensive national initiatives to promote equity in higher education with the goal of transforming the culture of research. Major health research funders are supporting this work through calls for projects that focus on equity, resulting in a proliferation of theoretical frameworks including "intersectionality," "health equity," and variations of equity, diversity and inclusion, or EDI. This commentary is geared at indi…
Technologies of Visibility
The success of skin lighteners as a cosmetic practice arose out of an accident of industrial history—in the 1930s tannery workers in Chicago experienced temporary depigmentation of the skin due to gloves that including the chemical compound MBH (monobenzyl ether of hydroquinone). Dermatologists quickly realized the potential of compounds derived from MBH within depigmentation treatments that corrected freckles or sought to lighten a person's enti…
Covid-19, the trauma of the ‘real’ and the political import of vulnerability
Politics in the neoliberal/modern/Western world is structured based upon the assumption that political subjects are atomistic and self-sufficient; these assumptions suppress and deny (inter) dependency, relationality and vulnerability. Yet, the rapid spread of COVID-19 has devastated many communities, drastically changed political and social life, and foregrounded the ways in which vulnerability is an inescapable fact of our existence. Drawing up…
Care Ethics and Precarity’, the Care Ethics Research Consortium, Inaugural Conference 27–28 September 2018, Portland, Oregon, USA
Reimagining Government with the Ethics of Care
The question of how to apply care ethics to institutions and social policies has been much discussed, with recent research expanding the scope of care ethics policy analysis to policy areas that are generally not viewed as ‘care related’. This paper seeks to engage with this literature in a critical and constructive way to explore more fully the transformative potential of the ethics of care. In particular, this paper argues that the aforemention…
Questioning “choice”
In many developed contexts, home-care services have been overhauled with the intent of increasing control and flexibility for those using social and health services. This change is associated with providing funds directly to individuals, and sometimes their families and supports, to arrange at home-care assistance with the activities of daily living. Directly funded home-care programs, or "direct funding" (DF), are not value-neutral policy interv…
