Siri Wacana KITA Bil. 7/2022: How an Emerging Economic Justice Movement in a Country on the Brink of Economic Collapse May Look Like

November 15, 2022 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

HOW AN EMERGING ECONOMIC JUSTICE MOVEMENT IN A COUNTRY ON THE BRINK OF ECONOMIC COLLAPSE MAY LOOK LIKE

Oleh

PROF. DR. SANDYA HEWAMANNE

Profesor Antropology & Pengarah Pusat Kajian Global Selatan

University of Essex, United Kingdom

 

This talk focuses on a national village subcontractors’ association led by former global factory workers of Sri Lanka that was initiated via a research impact activity. Since its inception in 2019, the association has faced a global pandemic and related national economic crisis–thus forcing the organization to evolve in unexpected ways. Focusing on the association’s journey and how advocacy and measured intervention can lead to transformational politics, the talk highlights the need for rethinking conventional definitions and trajectories of grassroots economic justice. Sri Lanka’s current national economic crisis necessitates a fresh look at the role of this budding economic justice movement and what it means for feminist approaches to political economy.
