"Social Reproduction, Financial Exclusion and Alternatives" runs from 12 to 1:30 p.m. EST over Zoom, and will explore how in 21st-century capitalism, finance and debt are becoming ubiquitous aspects of life across all countries of the world economy.

Deepening and emerging financialized realities pose critical questions for feminists. How are patterns of financial inclusion and exclusion gendered and racialized? How does unequal access to credit shape inequalities of gender, race and class? How can feminist analysis contribute to understandings of debt? What are the alternatives?

In this webinar, a panel of feminist scholars and activists on (digital) financial inclusion, debt and financial cooperatives across informal and popular economies will address these key questions exploring power relations and struggles in the time of global financialization of the everyday.

The speakers include:

Speakers:

• Caroline Shenaz Hossein (91亚色, Canada)
• Serena Natile (Warwick University)
• Ver贸nica Gago and Luci Cavallero (Universidad de Buenos Aires, NiUnaMenos)

Socialist cities have special qualities which endure in particular, subtle, and often under-theorized ways. This book engages with socialism on a global scale, as well as the variety of socialist urbanisms and post-socialist urbanisms, and the range of ways in which globalization intersects with changes in socialist and post-socialist cities.

Rising Up traces the history and international context of living wage movements across Canada. Contributors to this astute and compassionate collection of essays examine union- and community-based approaches to organizing in marginalized communities, the role of social reproduction, migrant labour, and media (mis)representations, among other key topics.

 (De un Caf茅 a Otro: Reflexiones Sobre la Sociedad Contempor谩nea) (RIL Editores, 2020) Jaime Llamb铆as-Wolff and Juan Carlos Aquirre

This book is an analytical three-year conversation between two social scientists about contemporary life, the economic, political, social and cultural reality challenging contemporary society. Several national and international issues are addressed through a critical analysis, including extensive footnotes, but accompanied with a freer literary writing style, that reflects a self-motivated dialogue.

 (La Enfermedad de los Sistemas de Salud: Miradas Criticas y Alternativas) (RIL Editores, 2020) Jamie Llamb铆as-Wolff (Editors)

The aim of the book is to theoretically explore contemporary problems and attempt to reflect on the current state of what health should be. My intention is to facilitate a debate towards other paradigmatic options, those that give birth to original policies that probably only await their historic moment. The current model is not only in crisis, but also definitely exhausted. The challenge is to ensure that health can become an ethical value of modernity.

Sexual violence presents all kinds of challenges for researchers. In this edited collection, contributors draw upon applied examples from Uganda, Sierra Leone, Congo, and Nigeria in order to reflect upon the challenges involved in asking questions and conducting fieldwork, interacting with communities and brokers, and the layered effects of privilege and position.

This book听assesses what is and isn鈥檛 working in efforts to improve access to civil and family justice. Meaningful access is often a question of providing pathways to resolving everyday legal issues. The availability of justice services that aren鈥檛 only tied to the courts and lawyers 鈥� such as public education on the law, alternative dispute settlement, and paralegal support 鈥� is therefore an important concern.

This book examines questions pertaining to business and legal ethics in order to fill a gap in the literature between what is taught at business schools with respect to business ethics and what is taught in law schools about legal ethics.
