From September 2002
to May 2003, fourteen Rutgers faculty and doctoral fellows, visiting
scholars from Korea, China, central and eastern Europe, and the
United States, and other university and community researchers
engaged in a year-long conversation exploring the transformation
of class structures, experiences, and representations and the
implications of these changes for feminist theory, politics, and
practice.
The rise of a global,
capitalist economy has been accompanied by increasing economic
inequality, social dislocation, and political instability.
Women as a group are still disadvantaged relative to men, but
class inequalities among women are real and are widening.
How does this changing economic and social landscape affect theories
of gender and class? In what ways should feminist movements rethink
their goals and strategies to incorporate class differences and
the emergence of new political identities? To what degree are
women's labor and gender rights integrated in to governmental,
corporate, community-based, and faith-based responses to the new
global economic and social order?
