with apologies for cross-posting. 2nd CFP: Gendering Capital, Gendering Crisis: New research in feminist economic geography Session Organizers: Anne Bonds, Kate Derickson, Brenda Parker, Kendra Strauss and Marion Werner Feminist geographers have long critiqued narratives of abstract, macro-structural economic change divorced from an analysis of how such change works in and through multiple sites, subjects, and times (Nagar et al. 2002). For example, feminist research foregrounds power relations at the household level, the making of gendered subjectivities (e.g., McDowell 2003), the interaction between hierarchies of value and raced and gendered hierarchies of social worth (e.g., Wright 2006), and the theorization of marginalized places and subjects as active makers of the global economy (e.g., Silvey and Lawson 1999). Building upon a successful series of panels on the intersection of feminist and economic geography at the AAG in 2012, and recent calls for a reinvigorated feminist approach to the analysis of economic crisis (e.g., Pollard 2013; Bonds 2013), this paper session aims to foster critical conversations at the intersection of feminist theory and practice and the study of capitalism, crisis and restructuring. Papers that address one or more aspects of the following themes are welcome: ● Financialization and uneven development from a feminist perspective, highlighting relations between marginalized places/subjects and geographic centers of capital accumulation; ● Relational, gendered comparisons of the geographies of crisis and austerity in the global North and South; ● Feminist perspectives on transformations of work and labor processes, attentive to intersectional analysis and the workings of power in and through multiples spaces; ● Feminist analyses of households as sites that absorb, reflect, and re-shape economic crises and relations of nation, class, sexuality, race, and gender; ● Affective geographies of economic restructuring and ethics of late capitalism. Please send abstracts (250 words max) and/or questions to Anne Bonds ([email protected]) or Kate Driscoll Derickson ([email protected]). Deadline for abstracts is October 10th.
