Towards a Feminist and Degrowth Economy of Care

Miljøorganisationen NOAH Episode 6

***English Episode***

For todays episode, we talked to prominent degrowth, political ecology and feminist scholar, Rebecca Rutt, from the University of Copenhagen. Rebecca explains the ways in which contemporary capitalism is "gendered", and how this devalues so-called "women's work", while at the same time finding inspiration in care work as a foundation for a degrowth society.

A big thanks to Rebecca for participating and making today's episode possible!
