Bringing together economics and linguistics, this course will critically examine public narratives around parenting and the raising of young children in a global context, drawing from intersectional, decolonial feminist political economy as well as a new line of linguistic inquiry examining the relationship between language and attachment. We will explore the theories from three distinct but overlapping feminist epistemologies: intersectionality, decolonial feminism, and social reproduction feminism.
This course introduces methods for analyzing and drawing reliable conclusions from economic data.

The course emphasizes computation rather than formal derivations. Students will practice using statistical software to conduct data analysis, visualization, and report writing.
