About the lecture
Professor Alessandrini’s Inaugural Lecture explores the potential for critical legal approaches to challenge the role international economic law plays in the proliferation of socio-economic inequalities and planetary injustices.
Drawing on feminist debates around wages for housework, racial and colonial capitalism scholarship and third world approaches to international law, she will argue that a feminist social reproduction lens enables us to remain attentive to the legal mechanisms that enable capitalist value to be produced on a global scale.
She will also explore the possibility of alternative arrangements capable of supporting practices of more-than-capitalist value-making, thereby contributing to different and more plural social orders.
