The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

Unfortunately we had to postpone the event due to the weather. We are aiming now for 13 April! Will confirm soon!

Heaven help me, I am a Podcaster now. I recently talked to @katharinapistor.bsky.social about capitalist law and its discontents (with a particular eye toward the law’s impact on labor and worker organizing) for @cunyslu.bsky.social’s Reinventing Solidarity podcast: soundcloud.com/cunyslu/epis...

This year I made two big changes to my graduate International Political Economy syllabus: 1) I leaned in to money and capital as organizing themes, and 2) I assigned (nearly) all books. Here's our reading list, ft. Karl Polanyi, Benjamin Cohen, @stefeich.bsky.social, Ngaire Woods, J.C. Sharman ...

It was great talking to you!

One might think that central banks would jump at the opportunity finally to create a money system that serves the people rather than the banks. @katharinapistor.bsky.social explains why they haven't. bit.ly/4poyYSE
