Friends and Readers

Here in Torino Italy with about 400+ feminist economists from around the world. The hot topics are women and migration, migration and globalization, food security and of course the topic “caring labor.” This later is not my favorite way to approach questions of gendered work patterns, more on this later.

Fascinating papers on women’s conditions all over the world: South and Central America, Asia, India, Africa, the mid-East, Europe, the USA, Canada. Many of the papers are comparative and/or historical.

I’ll be writing about these topics soon. Do write if there are some topics you are especially interested in having me cover. The full conference schedule can be found at www.iaffe.org

That’s all for now. Susan
