Works in the Works is a monthly speaker series sponsored by City Tech's Humanities department. Originally aimed at showcasing our faculty members' research or creative work, it has successfully evolved to include the work of faculty members across campus and collaborative efforts with those from Humanities.

May 4th: Diana Mincyte - Rethinking Kinship as a Unit of Production: Gender, Labor and Food Politics in the Age of Climate Crisis

In this presentation, Prof. Mincyte will take a relational approach to rethink kinship as a form of social and political organization undergirding food systems that are both contributing to and opening possibilities for mitigating the effects of climate change. Combining insights from early debates on agrarian change and feminist scholarship, this research underscores the role of social reproduction labor in shaping agro-food politics.
