What do the most personal aspects of our lives — gender, sexuality, sex, intimacy, families, relationships — have to do with capitalism? How are our gender and sexual identities shaped by global hierarchies of work, race, citizenship, property, and status? Can capitalism exist without gender and sexual oppression?
In this module, we will grapple with these questions through feminist, queer, and trans thought and practice. These engagements will take us across a diverse range of topics and sites: housework and domestic services, care and emotional labor, beauty and cosmetics, the global tourist industry, sex work, and anti-capitalist struggles for gender and sexual freedom.
