Study Group on Feminist Epistemology
December 2018 - March 2019
Custom inperson
Description
Aim
The efforts surrounding this proposition of Gender and Economics, Philosophy of Economics and History of Economic Thought Working Groups is to foster the discussion of both philosophical themes surrounding gender economic studies and the possible implications of gender perspectives within the epistemology of economics (e.g the building of homoeconomicus). This project will contain one Webminar and online reading group’s sessions.
Description
Since both subjects are outside the regular scope of study of most economists, the project will start with a general introduction in the format of a Webminar. Here we will invite professor Zdravka Todorova (Wright State University - http://www.wright.edu/~zdravka.todorova/) to make an open introductory session on Feminist Economics. The reading group schedule and texts will be settled in this first meeting. This Webminar will be recorded, so anyone that desires to join us later can have contact with this general introduction.
In this reading group, based on texts and topics suggested both by organizers and participants, we intend to organize discussions through online-conference. The idea is that someone will be responsible for presenting general comments on the paper in order to
enhance the discussion. The length of this phase will depend on the number of texts and topics that the participants choose, bu the initial idea are 5 reading group’s meeting.

Webinar
Discussion of "Behind Marx's Hidden Abode" by Nancy Fraser
After the kick-off webinar with Prof. Todorova, the Feminist Epistemology Project started their study group meetings with the discussion of the chapter "Gender and Economics" from the book "Feminism, objectivity and economics" by Julie Nelson.In our next session, we will discuss "Behind Marx's Hidden Abode" by Nancy Fraser. Here is a list of questions of some of the issues that we would like to discuss: How does Fraser define reproduction? How can we distinguish social reproduction from commodity production? Is it simply waged versus unwaged work? Is the idea of a "totally commodified world" impossible in theory? Are non-marketized realms an essential feature of Capitalism? Are the pairs of "complementary opposites" production/reproduction, economy/polity, human/non-human of the same kind or are there essential differences between them? What is specific from social reproduction crisis? Please feel free to join us even if you did not have the chance of be part of our previous events!
