Feminist Political Economy: A Global Perspective This roundtable provides a discussion on the importance of feminist political economy to understanding the gendered dimensions of contemporary capitalism particularly in light of the gendered fall out and repercussions from Covid19. Short presentations will be provided by the co-authors (Sara Cantillon, Wise Centre for Economic Justice, Sara Stevano, Department of Economics, SOAS and Odile Makett, School of Governance, Wits University) on three thematic themes from their upcoming book, Feminist Political Economy: A Global Perspective The book sets out the power relations that shape household, national and global dynamics and explores the relations between the economic, the social and the political in the reproduction of inequality. In particular, it engages with debates that are relevant for both the global North and South. Addressing the public private divide; the paid unpaid divide; and policy approaches the inputs will give a flavour of the book and provide an opportunity to discuss the current role of gender relations of power in the global economy The Roundtable will also have two discussants, Professor Diane Elson, Essex University and Lyn Ossome, Senior Research Specialist, Institute for Economic Justice Johannesburg, who will provide their responses to the presentations from the book. There will then be an open discussion with the members of the Roundtable and with session participants through Q and A. The session will be chaired by Dr Nina Teasdale, Senior Research Fellow, GCU. |
