Moral Economy of Markets: Constituting and Resisting Relations of Power

Catalog description

This Bass Connections project will explore experiences and narratives especially of those thrown into various states of vulnerability, objectification and precarity by the voracious spread of market logic. For graduate students, regular participation in all project meetings will be complimented with mentorship of undergraduates, additional meetings with the faculty directors of the project, and summary presentations of research findings to the larger project group. They will also be evaluated on the basis of the quality of their research based on their year (1st year vs. 4th year) and program i.e. whether they are PhD or master's level. Instructor consent required.
