GENDER, Social Reproduction, AND WOMEN'S SELF-ORGANIZATION: Considering the U.S. Welfare State
Gender & Society, 1991Co-Authors: Johanna Brenner, Barbara LaslettAbstract:This article argues that changes in the organization of Social Reproduction, defined to include the activities, attitudes, behaviors, emotions, responsibilities, and relationships involved in maintaining daily life, can explain historical differences in women's political self-organization. Examining the Progressive period, the 1930s, and the 1960s and 1970s, the authors suggest that the conditions of Social Reproduction provide the organizational resources for and legitimation of women's collective action.

The Value of Social Reproduction
Gendered Migrations and Global Social Reproduction, 2015Co-Authors: Eleonore Kofman, Parvati RaghuramAbstract:Gendered global migrations have increasingly come to be seen through the lens of care and its associated theorisations of the care diamond and care chains. While this work has served to expand our understanding of the relationships between different parts of the world and how they are mediated by the embodied and affective work of care, particularly within the household, we have argued that theories of Social Reproduction offer a richer analysis of these movements. We suggest that using Social Reproduction includes a wider repertoire of activities, sites and sectors and leads to a recognition of spatial differentiation and dynamic variability that is often missed in the literature on care. We explored some of the ways in which Social Reproduction had been theorised but also outlined how the resurgence of interest in Social Reproduction offers new veins of analysis.

Immigration Regulations and Social Reproduction
Gendered Migrations and Global Social Reproduction, 2015Co-Authors: Eleonore Kofman, Parvati RaghuramAbstract:In chapters 4 and 5, we examined the use of reproductive labour in different sites and sectors and with varying skills. Whilst in Chapter 4 we outlined some of the ways in which the state shaped and intervened in diverse sites of Social Reproduction, here we focus on the state, often in collaboration with other organisations such as professional bodies and recruitment agencies, as a significantmediator between migrants, labour markets and immigration regulations through which Social Reproduction is played out. Immigration regulations act as a filter encouraging certain kinds of migrants, as states position themselves in narratives of globalisation and national imaginaries and deal with complex and often conflicting demands between different economic, Social and political interests through the construction of stratifying systems within an overall framework of managed migration (Kofman 2008; Morris 2002).

Migration, Social Reproduction and Inequality
Gendered Migrations and Global Social Reproduction, 2015Co-Authors: Eleonore Kofman, Parvati RaghuramAbstract:As we saw in the previous chapters, Social Reproduction occurs across a number of sites and sectors. It also involves a range of educational qualifications and professional experiences that may be differentially valorised depending on who performs them, how their skills are regulated and where they were obtained. Moreover, rights to entry, to work, to form families and to welfare are also selectively given globally based on factors such as colonial links, new political affiliations and the nature of the state and its welfare regime.

Remaking labour imaginaries: Social Reproduction and the internationalising project of welfare reform
Political Geography, 2003Co-Authors: Chris HaylettAbstract:Abstract This paper examines an increasingly international, work-centred process of welfare restructuring through its effects on ideas and practices of Social Reproduction. The effects of intensified welfare restructuring on Social Reproduction are argued to be a neglected aspect of globalisation debates, connected to a posited ‘labour metaphysic’ within mainstream leftist politics. Analysis of relations between welfare restructuring and neoliberal globalisation suggests a crisis of support for practices of Social Reproduction, exemplified in US welfare-to-work programmes. The need for leftist politics to reconstruct ‘labour imaginaries’ in relation to issues of Social Reproduction is argued through an examination of welfare reform programmes in Texas. Welfare-to-workers are shown to live their class through painful and shameful ‘classifying practices’, which deny the class basis of their poverty, negate the value of their motherhood, and aim to construct individualised, psychologised and evangelised subjectivities for labour market participation. The struggle of programme participants for material and psychological survival is argued to be a class struggle, which presents a major challenge to the thinking and practice of leftist politics.
