DESCRIPTION:A guest lecture by Beverly Mullings of the University of Toront
 o.\n\nAbstract:  Across the majority world populations are coming to the r
 ealization that the promise of formal waged employment was a cruelly optim
 istic unattainable ideal. Few today have faith in the teleological narrati
 ve of immanent development. And many in certain parts of the majority worl
 d have had to acknowledge that they are a relative surplus population - su
 perfluous to the needs of capital and increasingly cut adrift or cast as a
  threat by those impatient to expropriate the land\, the resources and eve
 n the devalued labour power of those it excludes. In this talk I explore t
 he lessons we might learn from Caribbean women’s efforts to make life work
  in conditions of chronic and pervasive precarity. Through an expanded con
 ceptualization of life work\, I explore how the strategies and forms of cr
 eativity women use to build and reproduce societies challenge the conceptu
 al binaries: formality/ informality\; social reproduction/economic product
 ion that continue to structure the value of labour under capitalism.\n
