# Event Details - **Event Name**: Care Work: The Hidden Backbone of Our Economy - **Event Start and End Date**: Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Wed, 04 Mar, 2026 at 08:00 pm - **Event Description**: This online international seminar series is built upon the joint Lecture Series in Advanced Political Economy (SAPE) by SOAS University of London and The New School for Social Research in New York in 2021-23. With an additional partner The Center for Heterodox Economics (CHE) at the University of Tulsa, this seminar series will connect the academic discussions to the real-world power struggle and workers’ everyday lives. We will talk about current affairs, trends in production and work, and their implications on trade unions and the working-class movement. Each week, we will invite leading experts on the subject and analyse what’s been going on by identifying key challenges. Together with the audience, we want to think about how we can fight against the challenges and build a movement toward a more systematic change. Social Reproduction and Precarious and Unpaid Labour will be delivered by Luiza Nassif Pires, Anamary Maqueira Linares and chaired by Srishti Yadav. Luiza Nassif Pires is a research fellow working in the Gender Equality and the Economy program. Her research interests include gender and political economy, distributional aspects of gender discrimination, gender and racial aspects of development, and input-output methods. Her recent research relies on statistical equilibrium and game theory to formalize the impacts of gender and racial segregation in the labor movement with an application to the United States.

She is also collaborating with Prof. Katherine Moos at University of Massachusetts, Amherst on a feminist input-output project.
