Workshop Crisis of Social Reproduction:

Struggles over Nature, Community, Democracy and Care

Collge dEtudes Mondiales/FMSH, March 13th-14th, 2017, Paris

Organized by
Nancy Fraser (chair in Global Justice Collge dtudes mondiales/ New School for Social
Research)
Dominique Mda (chair Ecologie, travail, emploi Collge dtudes mondiales / Universit
Paris Dauphine, Irisso)

The premise of the meeting is that concurrent crises of care, ecology, solidarity, and
democracy are deeply intertwined and cannot be adequately understood in isolation from one
another. Thus, this workshop propose to assemble them together under the overarching
concept of a crisis of social reproduction and to probe the relations among them. Topics of
interest include but are not limited to: competing conceptions of social reproduction (domestic
labor, affective labor, care, assuring and supporting the condition of life in the broad sense,
etc.); multiple sites of social reproduction (families, states, civil society, markets, base
communities, etc.); multiple threats to social reproduction (crises, commodification, austerity
policy, environmental deterioration, militarism, etc.); injustices of social reproduction
(relations of gender, class, race, nationality, citizenship, etc), struggles to assure sustainable
conditions of life (affinities, antagonisms, solidarities, alliances, etc); and competing visions
of social-reproductive justice.
