Funded by a faculty grant through the Center for the Study of Gender and Sexuality and organized Kimberly Hoang and Adom Getachew, this panel will examine how gender and global capitalism co-constitute different kinds of inequalities. The 2008 global financial crisis has spurred a renewed interest in histories of capitalism and political economy across a number of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences. This effort has sought to make the economy visible and legible to various forms of scholarly inquiry. However, missing form these existing conversations is a crucial gendered analysis. With a focus on Asia and Africa in particular, panelists will explore questions of finance, labor, debt and the gendered relations they produce, destabilize and reconstitute.
Panelists:
Ann Pitcher, Professor of African Studies and Political Science, University of Michigan
Raka Ray, Professor of Sociology and South and Southeast Asian Studies, University of California Berkeley
Jennifer Cole, Professor of Comparative Human Development, University of Chicago
