John us for a roundtable featuring Kate Derickson (Univ. of Minnesota, Geography), Lorena Munoz (Univ. of Minnesota, Geography), and Miranda Joseph (Univ. of Arizona, Gender and Women's Studies).

This roundtable features feminist geographers discussing critical theoretical and methodological approaches to capitalism through temporality and event. They consider how feminist political economy incisively transforms how we think about neoliberal globalization, financialization, and climate change.

Kate Derickson is an urban political economist working at the intersections of feminist epistemology and radical political economy. She is particularly interested in understanding how to best cultivate the social formations and relations that can engender radically democratic and socially just counterhegemonies.
