DESCRIPTION:A guest lecture by Beverly Mullings of the University of Toront
 o.\n\nAcross the majority world populations are coming to the realization 
 that the promise of formal waged employment was a cruelly optimistic unatt
 ainable ideal. Few today have faith in the teleological narrative of imman
 ent development. And many in certain parts of the majority world have had 
 to acknowledge that they are a relative surplus population - superfluous t
 o the needs of capital and increasingly cut adrift or cast as a threat by 
 those impatient to expropriate the land\, the resources and even the deval
 ued labour power of those it excludes. In this talk I explore the lessons 
 we might learn from Caribbean women’s efforts to make life work in conditi
 ons of chronic and pervasive precarity. Through an expanded conceptualizat
 ion of life work\, I explore how the strategies and forms of creativity wo
 men use to build and reproduce societies challenge the conceptual binaries
 : formality/ informality\; social reproduction/economic production that co
 ntinue to structure the value of labour under capitalism.\n
