SUMMARY:The (not so) invisible power structures in global transformations of labour
DESCRIPTION:This pre-conference seeks to reconnect labour analysis with questions of dependency\, global value chains\, social reproduction\, and ecological extraction. Rather than treating these dimensions as peripheral\, they are positioned as constitutive of contemporary labour regimes and of the uneven transformations shaping work across regions and social groups. By foregrounding these perspectives\, the pre-conference aims to foster dialogue between feminist\, post-colonial\, ecological\, and institutional approaches to labour within the YSI EAEPE community.
