Rhacel Salazar Parreñas is   Professor of Sociology and Gender and Sexuality Studies at the   University of Southern California. She is the author of numerous books   and articles on gender, family, labor, migration and the political   economy of globalization. In 2019, she was honored with  the Jessie  Bernard Award by the American Sociological Association in  recognition  of her contributions to our understanding of women in  society.She will address the question of how gender constitutes  and is constituted  in transnational households. It draws from a two  year ethnographic  study on children raised from a distance in the  Philippines by migrant  parents across the diaspora. While the talk  empirically establishes the  continued relegation of housework  and childcare to women, including in  the household of migrant mothers,  it also engages the implications of  such a finding to feminist theory.  It explains the stalled gender  revolution in the formation of  transnational households with migrant  mothers and establishes  the significance of examining gender from a  relational and not solely  an identity perspective. The conference will be moderated by Hélène  Le Bail and Hélène Thiollet, researchers CNRS at Sciences Po's Center for International Studies (CERI).Monday January 27, 2020 5:00 - 7:00 PMSciences po, Amphithéâtre Jacques Chapsal, 27 rue Saint Guillaume, 75007 ParisContact / inscriptions externes : valerie.richard@sciencespo.fr
