Our new collaborative project entitled ‘Raced Markets’ draws together researchers, activists, and artists whose work broadly explores how racial power functions in the global economy.

Raced Markets is a joint endeavour between our own IPE cluster and the School of Politics and IR at QMUL, and our first two-day workshop will take place here at Warwick at the start of December.

The papers included in this event cover many timely unfolding aspects of the global political economy including: economies of migration, racial bioeconomies of genes and cells, and the global financial crisis as a raced event. Further papers variously consider how race is foundationally implicated in political economy as a discipline, present feminist readings of racial economies, and examine the role of race in processes of foreclosure and enclosure

Black Activists Rising Against the Cuts (BARAC) will be there to introduce the campaign work of their organisation and the Institute for Race Relations (IRR) will also be involved in the event.
