January 17 | Kim Lopez on women of colour and labour

[Arts Communications]

The Gender and Social Justice program presents a talk by Kim Lopez: I Don’t Dream of Labour: Gender, Anti-Work, and the Social Reproduction of Labouring Bodies

[X]

Friday, January 17 from 3:00 - 4:30 pm

Women of colour are conditioned to be “good” workers. We are scheduled, culturally schooled, and disciplined to be as productive as possible and incur harm and violence in the various forms of reproductive work we engage. While resistances to labour toward leisure might seem like a health-full alternative to the harms of capitalism, activity and free-time alone cannot serve as the carrot that leads us away from labour, which for many, is a system of exploitation that is so deeply embedded in how we relate to ourselves, each other, and the world. What, then, does escaping labour look like? What might anti-work existences feel like? How might our engagement in the world be different if the relationship between work and gender was radically reorganized?
