ABSTRACT
Historically, gender has remained a key site of oppression locally, nationally, and globally. What are the ways in which global social and economic systems have reproduced gendered experiences? How have women been constituted in the economic logics of global hegemony, and how have these constructions shaped the materiality of women’s lived experiences and women’s labor? What are the principles of gendered organizing within which discourses of work have circulated and created the normative expectations around the economic value attached to certain types of work, the devaluation of other types of work, and the corresponding economic and social marginalization of women? What are the structures of governance within which women’s lived experiences have been constituted in contemporary global geopolitics, and how have women been erased from these structures of governance?
