Members: Meena Acharya, Christina Ewig, Pregaluxmi
Govender, Lynne Haney, Gioconda Herrera, Hella Hoppe,

Goal Statement:
Our transnational collaborative group will problematize
neoliberal paradigms of development, migration, and
global governance, including their material, discursive,
and symbolic aspects. By exploring national and transnational
processes, structures, and institutions of production
and social reproduction, the group will develop alternative
conceptual and methodological tools that will enhance
the empowerment of women.
Our anticipated outcomes include an on-going collaborative
research group; the development of a web-based syllabus
on gender and globalization, including suggested lecture
topics, bibliographies, and internet linkages; a funding
proposal for an international workshops on methodologies
for studying gender and globalization; a special issue
of an academic journal and an open-access E-journal;
and policy statements and briefing notes designed for
senior policy officials.
Next Steps:
- Exchange timelines
- Exchanges proposals with questions and queries
- Make connections among our proposals conceptually
- Make connections among our methodolog
- Prepare statements of:
- Questions from our disciplines
on the 3 Gs
- Feminist interventions into the
3 Gs
- Conceptual and methodological
gaps
- Workshop on alternatives to globalization and neoliberal
governance
Long-Term Goals:
- Research exchanges on our projects
