In this clip, guest Nina Banks share how she found existing economic frameworks to calculate unpaid labor by women did not capture the full range of wok by racialized American women. Thus, she decided to create a new an intersectional, feminist, political economy framework that puts the lived experiences of African-American women at the center in our understanding of unpaid work.
"My argument then is that what it means to be a woman, and our experience of gender oppression, is not just about relations within a private household relative to men, but also it's based on factors that are external to the household. So I ended up developing this framework that focuses on informal work that women are producing collectively, they are cooperatively producing unpaid work, so it's not channeled through a market, there's no buying and selling, and they are not paid for their services." - Nina Banks
