Gender, Justice, and Neoliberal Transformations

Collaborative project to produce innovative ideas about how to address social issues more effectively and, thereby contribute to more just social relations. There is a growing body of scholarly literature on the importance of connecting seemingly disparate issues in order to develop more effective means of addressing them. Similarly, there is a growing feminist literature that documents how gender and sexuality are central to public (as well as private) issues, including the formation of the “welfare state” and its possible futures. This project places individual issues in the context of larger processes like global migration and communications or free trade and economic competition in synergy with the possible responses.
Field sites: Thailand, India, Hong Kong, USA, Argentina, Nigeria, Dominican Republic.
