We wrote a letter in response to Alan Beattie's @FT piece calling for the retirement of the term 'Global South'. We think that it'd be a mistake: it would obscure persistent South-North divides. Based on our open access article: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11… ft.com/content/0fa86b…

Experiments to alleviate poverty = correct the biases of the poor through narrow interventions and RCTs with huge issues in terms of ethics and research rigour. Seems completely odd at a time when many economists have come to realise we need to rethink the Global economic order!

As publication day is nearing, I'd like to share how special it is to me that incredible scholars, from whom I've learnt so much, not only engaged with this book but also wrote some really nice words of appreciation. Thank you Diane Elson, @Jayati1609, @AHAkramLodhi & @NFolbre!

🎉Happy to share my new article – one I’m fond of as it's on something I always saw in #Mozambique but hadn't been able to put my finger on. It’s only a start but the point is: the workplace at the bottom of global supply chains is a site of reproduction of colonial relations🧵

SOAS has moved ahead with 100% pay deductions for ASOS. Must be the best strategy to kill any goodwill among staff - not to deter staff from participating in lawful @ucu industrial action (the stated objective of the employer, however problematic that is in its own right).

A snapshot from yesterday's launch of Ha-Joon Chang's new book 'Edible Economics'. Best metaphor for me: chillies in Sichuan food are like care work in the economy, they are so ubiquitous that we take them for granted 🌶️ Thanks @TobiasFranz_ & @SurbhiKesar for organising.

One never stops learning from Maria Mies' work - this is what happened to me since I was first introduced to her work by @FeministOnMarx. 'Patriarchy and accumulation on a world scale' is one of those books that keep giving. Feminism lost a giant but her legacy will live on.

💥🆕Our paper on #essential #work is out 🎉🎊 As new lockdowns begin across Europe, divisions between essential and non-essential workers will re-surface. In this paper we take a #global #feminist lens centred on #social #reproduction and ask: essential for what? Short thread:

By the way, not even the household is like the household budget. There are people and relations of care, work and responsibility within and across households. The household budget metaphor has really run its course!

How depressing to read the new @ucu report based on a survey of almost 7000 members - one key finding: 60% of respondents consider leaving academia in the near future. Reasons? workloads & pay mostly 👇

On Thursday I will talk about the importance of feminist perspectives in economics and specifically how social reproduction approaches allow us to gain a richer understanding of the economy. Thanks for the invitation @EconResCouncil! @SOASEconomics
