Book Conversation with Wendy Harcourt

Join us for a conversation with scholar and RCGE Board Member Wendy Harcourt about her new open-access book Conundrums of Care: Feminist Entanglements in Critical Development Studies. Drawing on stories from different places, peoples, and histories, the book illuminates how care is understood across key feminist debates - from social reproduction and interspecies relations in posthumanism, to environmental justice in feminist political ecology, to reciprocity and accountability in postdevelopment and decolonialism. Responses from fellow Board Members Arturo Escobar (UNC), Felwine Sarr (Duke University), and Suzanne Bergeron (University of Michigan). ️ Wednesday, April 29 ⏰10:00-11:00AM (EDT) Online (Zoom - Translated captioning available) Registration free but required Presenter and Author: Wendy Harcourt (Erasmus University Rotterdam) Respondents: Arturo Escobar (UNC) Felwine Sarr (Duke University) Suzanne Bergeron (University of Michigan) About Wendy's New Book: Conundrums of Care: Feminist Entanglements in Critical Development Studies (Bloomsbury, December 2025)
