GNDR 219 Gender Social Reproduction and Care
A0X Davina Bhandar
Under capitalism where time = money, how do we count for all the time that we put towards caring for others? Does this seem like a ludicrous notion? In the 1970’s, as part of a wider social feminist movement, women began to raise these questions around what they were calling the “double bind”. Seeing how their labour in the home was significant to the ability for work to take place outside of the home. The ways that household work was gendered, was not simply relegated to home life, but rather influenced a “gendered” nature of work and pay inequity outside of the home.
In this course we explore the concept of Social Reproduction, which is the term that is used to analyse labour that is often unseen, unpaid, but absolutely essential to the larger economy. We understand how there is global migrant labour force of care that has been mobilized in the name of social reproduction, we also challenge how the notion of “care” has been captured by capitalism, and seek to expand how we might encounter this idea. We examine home/house work, informal gendered economies, and how seemingly new economic actors such as the “Trad Wife” are trading on these older tropes.

Examines how Western ways of knowing cast particular racialized, gendered, sexualized, disabled, and fat bodies as monstrous.
