Wir brauchen eine kritische Wirtschaftswissenschaft - mehr denn je! Mit Exploring Economics stärken wir alternative ökonomische Ansätze und setzen der Mainstream-VWL ein kritisches und plurales Verständnis von ökonomischer Bildung entgegen. Außerdem liefern wir Hintergrundanalysen zu akuellen ökonomischen Debatten, um einen kritischen Wirtschaftsdiskurs zu stärken.
Doch leider uns das Geld aus, um unsere Arbeit fortzusetzen.
Mit einem kleinen Beitrag kannst Du Exploring Economics unterstützen, online zu bleiben. Danke!

This workshop was originally taught at the Summer Academy for Pluralist Economics 2022
Instructor: Natalia Flores Garrido
In this session we will discuss if capitalism is the context where gender inequalities are reproduced, or if capitalism is something more than a context. If so, how can we understand the interactions between gender and capitalism? Is there a determinism between these two realms (for example: gender inequalities are caused by capitalism) or how is the relationship between them?
Prescribed readings:
The main objective of this session is to reflect about differences among women and how can we place them theoretically and politically. If we want to advance social justice from a gendered perspective, how could we take into account axes like class and race?

Additional readings (optional):

In this session we will discuss the interactions between neoliberalism as an economic model and a cultural value, and feminism. Particularly, we will focus on how neoliberal ideas are changing historical feminist demands about women’s participation in the labour market. We will discuss if women’s participation in the paid economy is a synonym of empowerment and autonomy.

Additional readings:
To conclude the workshop we will discuss what kind of feminism do we need in light of the increasing inequalities and expulsions happening in our current historical moment. Which perspectives and experiences should we consider?
