Care in times of the pandemic
In this paper, we challenge the meanings of work that marginalize academic activities associated with care and contribute to inequitable gender divisions of academic labor. We argue that the pandemic crisis and the revision of the meaning of "essential work" that accompanied it has served as a catalyst for such concerns to get a hearing. But while there has been significant attention paid to domestic care demands and their impact on academic labo…
Liberating Economics, Second Edition
In this brand-new critical analysis of economics, Barker, Bergeron, and Feiner provide a feminist understanding of the economic processes that shape households, labor markets, globalization, and human well-being to reveal the crucial role that gender plays in the economy today. With all new and updated chapters, the second edition of Liberating Economics examines recent trends in inequality, global indebtedness, crises of care, labor precarity, a…
When Failure Becomes Success
This review essay highlights David Ruccio’s attention to indeterminacy and subjectivity in his book Development and Globalization: A Marxian Class Analysis. It also applauds the book’s interdisciplinarity and anti-orthodox approach to economic transformation
Hybrid Class Dynamics, Gender, and the Economics of the Household
Expose, oppose, propose
Rebuilding Bridges
As feminists who think about war and peacebuilding, we cannot help but encounter the complex, entwined political economic processes that underlie wars’ causes, their courses, and the challenges of postwar reconstruction. For us, then, the increasing academic division between feminist security studies (FSS) and feminist (international) political economy (FPE/FIPE) has been a cause for concern, and we welcomed Politics & Gender’s earlier Critical P…
Social and Solidarity Economy
Postmodern Subjects and the Power of Economics
This review essay examines the notions of subjectivity at work in David Ruccio and Jack Amariglio's Postmodern Moments in Modern Economics, and the way modernist attempts at creating centered subjects contribute to a discourse of expertise that silences alternatives. I also extend the analysis of the book to a discussion of women as laboring subjects and resistance strategies in the global South. Keywords: ModernismEconomicsFeminismExpertise
Sexuality between State and Class
This symposium brings together the shared commitment of antideterminist Marxist and queer theory to explore the mutually constituting and indeterminate relationships between class, sexuality, and governance. Contributors call attention to the imperatives of theorizing in relation to discourses of economy, state, finance, psychology and care, and agendas of national development and neoliberal/post-neoliberal governance. Specific discussions includ…
Economics, Performativity, and Social Reproduction in Global Development
Over the past decade, international development policy has paid increased attention to social reproduction. While this offers an improvement over past practices in which care work was all but ignored, these policy frameworks continue to fall short of feminist goals. One reason for this is the way that dominant economic representations of social reproduction continue to rest on a universalizing portrayal of the household economy and family life as…
Gender, Development and Global Householding
That issues related to migration and global householding are finally being taken seriously by mainstream development institutions is clear from the focus of the United Nation's 2009 Human Development Report. Subtitled Overcoming Barriers: Human Mobility and Development, it is the first major intergovernmental organization publication to view transnational mobility as integral to human development. The report makes a strong case for recognizing th…

pat downs that occur at every entrance, make us very cognizant of the daily privileges of our lives, of the small liberties that might otherwise remain unseen and unnoted.

Fragments of Development
"A bold and challenging consideration of questions of development, economic globalization, communities and subjectivity from a unique feminist perspective. A must-read book for those who wish to understand restructuring and resistance in this era of intensified globalization." ---Isabella C.

The Post-Washington Consensus and Economic Representations of Women in Development at the World Bank
In the past few years, the neoliberal Washington consensus has given way to a "post-Washington consensus' aimed at integrating social and economic dimensions of development, paying attention to broader goals such as sustainability, and challenging the old state versus market dichotomy. Among its other effects, this shift in development thinking has contributed to a greater emphasis on gender concerns in development institutions such as the World …
