Abstract
It is well known that the economy is gendered. But what exactly are the implications of gender relations for the analysis of contemporary economic developments, such as the financial crisis? The paper addresses the issue of the theorisation of the relations between the economy and the gender regime as well as its specific application to the economic crisis. It analyses the multiple ways in which the financial crisis and its ensuing economic recession in Europe have been gendered. It considers the range of policy responses and the ways in which these have different gender implications. It offers new ways of conceptualising diverse forms of gender relations in the economy.

講者簡介:
Prof. Walby is interested in both theoretical development and policy impact, and enjoys collaborative research. Her research is situated within the tension between general social theory and specific forms of inequality, especially gender. This has led from theorizing patriarchy to mainstreaming complex inequalities into social theory. Substantively, she is interested in economic change, fascinated by new political forms (e.g. European Union) and concerned about marginalised groups (domestic violence matters). These issues are framed by globalisation, the understanding of which requires the use of complexity theory, and 'human rights' which has become the most important framing of contemporary projects for global justice.
