Elke Krasny and Nika Dubrovksy will continue Seminars of Care in February 2024. 

Following the first session of Seminars of Care on November 19, The David Graeber Institute will continue the series with the second session on February 24 at 18:00 (London time).

The meeting will explore Marxist feminists’ analyses of caring labor and David Graeber’s proposal to integrate it all into a new form of labor theory of value. We will be joined by Silvia Federici, renowned scholar, teacher, feminist activist, and one of the most important contemporary theorists of capitalism and feminist movements, and the author of Caliban and the Witch: Women, the Body and Primitive Accumulation (2004), Re-enchanting the World: Feminism and the Politics of the Commons (2018), Witches, Witch-Hunting, and Women (2018) and Beyond the periphery of the skin: rethinking, remaking, reclaiming the body in contemporary capitalism (2020). In 1972 she was cofounder of the International Feminist Collective that launched the Wages for Housework campaign.
