Originating Calendar
Women and Gender in Global Perspectives Program (WGGP)

Lunch provided for in-person attendees with registration by March 21.

Convergences in the kinds of low waged, unpredictable and dangerous jobs that working people worldwide increasingly face, are rendering historical geo-economic distinctions between informality and precarity obsolete. Yet, divisions that associate informality with disorganization, chaos and criminality, still structure how economies in the Global South, and women's work within them are routinely represented.
