Policy Gaps and Theory Gaps
This contribution brings a feminist intersectionalities approach to bear on the so-called policy gap – when governments act in ways that undermine their own stated goals – with respect especially to immigration, but also to labor and family policy. Analyzing the increasingly large worldwide flows of women to do paid domestic work, the authors argue that policy gaps in receiving countries both feed on and are fed by inequalities of gender, race, c…

In this terrible disaster, an undetermined number of men likely somewhere between 700 800 died of acute silicosis, a lung disorder caused by prolonged inhalation of silica dust, after working …
