Online Symposium on Gender and Money

[bsa_pro_ad_space id=4]

On 25 March 2022, University of Tübingen and Cornell University are hosting an international online symposium on the relation between gender and money.

Gender and Money – A Cross-Cultural Perspective

Reproduction and circulation, when thought about in the context of money or bodies, appear to be highly gendered phenomena. Intricate connections between different systems of exchange  and gender have been recognized around the globe, in different societies and different periods. Yet, the theme still seems understudied and undertheorized. We want to rethink the topic beyond    static classifications of numbers and images, with an emphasis on dynamic processes – of (re)making, (re)using, (re)conceiving. Gender and Money therefore addresses the theme under different parameters, including all forms of money understood broadly as tokens of (real or symbolic) exchange rather than currency. Moreover, we want to be attentive to the  intersectionality of gender with age, class, social status, race or ethnicity.
