In two days! As part of their Political Economy Teach-in Series, South Feminist Futures will host Professor Verónica Gago for a session on “Debt as a Form of Government.”
From South Feminist Features:
A feminist reading of debt allows us to understand how debt functions as a mechanism of governance. It operates both at the level of countries in the Global South and within households. It is a key modality for understanding financial capitalism in its patriarchal and colonial dimensions. Debt is a form of exploitation of labour, bodies, and territories, which rapidly intertwines with various extractivist projects — to the point where we can understand ourselves as facing a form of “financial extractivism.”
Registrations are open here. South Feminist Futures also offers a collection of reading material related to this teach-in through their Knowledge Hub, here.
