A little on the nose for gender & political economy folks ngl

Welcome to the United States of Suppression Our new series documents the recent crackdown on dissent and protests in the U.S.

"where are all the protests?"

read our series showing the legacy of both the Trump and Biden admins—from BLM in the 2010s, to Standing Rock, to George Floyd, to the Palestine encampments—as protest suppression and criminalization. politicians want to call blocking traffic and masking "terrorism."

thx! also cooking up an idea where maybe you and @abolisheconomics.bsky.social and others could join ECON709 via Zoom to share your work. Wanting to include more on the coercive side of care this semester. I agree it's underdeveloped in the literature, glad you're pursuing it

Sorry not sorry to play hooky on the #ASSA #EconConf
this year.

But would love to see @abolisheconomics.bsky.social
@shirkandsteal.bsky.social session on "Critical Perspectives on Care Work" if it's going to be livestreamed. Would try to watch it as my kiddos nap

All power to these workers. This is a bold move.

Is the End of Marriage the Beginning of Self-Knowledge? In “Liars,” Sarah Manguso presents divorce as a way for women to reassert an essential identity that’s been effaced by coercive social scripts.

I haven't read it yet, but just finished Miranda July's "All Fours" so maybe it's time.

This line of Parul Sehgal's review of "Liars" has been living in my head rent-free: "What is this vision of womanhood, of sexually indiscriminate infants running households?"

Teachers expressed both eagerness to include work-time reductions in future contracts, as well as skepticism that their districts had the fiscal space or political will to achieve this goal.

Our analysis documents a common experience of overwork. Teachers reported long work hours and a significant “mental load” which affect their quality of life, physical and mental health, relationships with their families, and desire to keep teaching.

Check out my new working paper, co-authored with Noé M. Wiener. This study is based on four focus group interviews with public school teachers in Massachusetts about reducing work hours as a means of improving their working conditions.

Emily Oster and the Optimization of Parenting What gets lost when we approach pregnancy and raising children through data?

Remember @jwmason.bsky.social when we talked about writing a critique of Emily Oster's guides to neoliberal parenting? I actually think that Anna Louie Sussman showed a lot of restraint (more than we would have). www.thenation.com/article/soci...

Been out of the social media game so long, I had to ask a grad student to re-format the image I wanted to upload for my profile's banner. She was very sweet, and didn't call me grandma once.
