Welcome to Introduction to Feminist and Social Justice Studies. This is the twelfth audio episode of the semester-long course for the Gender, Sexuality, Feminist, and Social Justice Studies program at McGill University, taking place in the Fall of 2021.

The transcript is available here: https://introtofeministstudies.blogspot.com/2020/07/episode-12-class.html

Today’s episode will focus on:

Class and labour organizing
We will talk about growing economic inequality and the feminization of poverty.
I’ll also discuss the impact of COVID-19 and the concept of a gendered recession or she-cession (though I don’t like that term)
I’ll introduce the concept of neoliberalism.
We will talk about capitalism and exploitation.
The lecture will finish by discussing the role of labour in the university.
