New *open access* paper (and one w a personal connection): capitalist firms devalue the labours of social reproduction by “exporting” it to gendered households & the state. But what do petty commodity producers, who embody both capital and labour, do? https://t.co/g8kTGKdVgy
Sharp, thought-provoking questions from Sheba Tejani, and lots to learn from insights shared by Danielle Guizzo and Alessandra Mezzadri. Grad students who want to use qualitative methods in economics research will benefit from this and future conversations in this series.
The most fun I’ve had with research in the last few months was this conversation on what qualitative methods can bring to feminist economics, as part of a new series initiated by @IAFFE. https://t.co/QnvwWuSdLI

📢I am pleased to share that my research paper📜, "Caste, Occupations, and (Im)mobility in Modern Indian Industry, 1870–2006", is now out in print. To the best of my knowledge, it is among the first comprehensive accounts that examines the interplay between caste and occupational choices in a modern, urban industrial setting in India over more than a century.
