    The Home as Laboratory

    Finance, Housing, and Feminist Struggle

    “In The Home as Laboratory, Cavallero, Gago, and Mason-Deese offer a pithy and urgent feminist analysis of the debt traps posed by the neoliberal precarious home. These debts are extracted disproportionately from the growing informal class of nonwaged gendered care workers whose vital ‘essential work’ became momentarily visible during the global pandemic. The authors examine the aftermath of the pandemic re-ordering of ‘home’ and work life, from their vantage point of the precarious peripheries of Buenos Aires, and offer what are in fact global lessons for feminist mobilization against debt and the financialization of the home.” —Paula Chakravartty, James Weldon Johnson Associate Professor of Media Studies, NYU “The personal is political! Such a foundational feminist statement has undeniable economic implications: capitalism cannot be grasped without understanding the everyday functioning of homes. This does not mean sticking to the standard complaint, ‘Oh, how important but overlooked reproductive work is!’ but instead, identifying how this role is reconstructed and challenged. Home as Laboratory shows how homes were used as a laboratory during the COVID-19 pandemic to test new forms of value extraction in financial capitalism. But it goes further: while a reprivatization of reproduction is imposed,  Cavallero, Gago, and Mason-Deese show us that our task is to render visible the ‘domestic territories’ that overflow beyond four walls. There lie the possibilities for imagining and enacting a common responsibility in maintaining life and rebelling against capital—an urgent and collective task.” —Amaia Pérez Orozco, author of The Feminist Subversion of the Economy “If you remember the COVID-19 pandemic as a suspension of the rules of ordinary life, this compelling book will wake you up. Our confinement indoors was not a refuge from the specters of capital afoot outside. Instead, it allowed our homes to be a proving ground for new capitalist forms that were busy transforming the gendered character of work, shelter, and finance, while turbo-charged currents of debt swirled all around us. Home as Laboratory offers a breathtaking analysis!” —Andrew Ross, author of Creditocracy and the Case for Debt Refusal “Debt, violence, domestic labor, rent, eviction, fintech, production of value, insecurity, poverty, desperation, love, racism, gender mandates and property titles—what happens when we analyze the circuits of financial capital from the place we call home? This brilliant book by leading scholar-activists Luci Cavallero, Verónica Gago, and Liz Mason-Deese is the Grundrisse for just such a radical left feminist project. Read it now!” —Wendy Brown, author of In the Ruins of Neoliberalism: The Rise of Anti-Democratic Politics in the West “Elegantly translated, and lucidly argued, Home as Laboratory provides a much-needed post-COVID-19 analysis of the ways that households have become spaces for experimentation for new dynamics of capital. Expanding existing Global South feminist theory and resistance in practice, Cavallero, Gago, and Mason-Deese forcefully demonstrate how the intensification of social reproduction exploitation and extraction via apparatuses like debt has been brutal. Home as Laboratory offers us more than just critique; it inspires autonomous feminist struggle and hope wherever the tentacles of financial capitalism need be severed.” —Jason Thomas Wozniak, assistant professor at West Chester University, codirector of the Latin American Philosophy of Education Society, and organizer with Debt Collective “By weaving together detailed social inquiry with innovative theoretical investigations, Luci Cavallero, Verónica Gago, and Liz Mason-Deese provide both a model for research and an orientation for future lines of struggle.” —Michael Hardt, author of The Subversive Seventies and coauthor of Bolivia Beyond the Impasse

    “A breath of much-needed fresh air around a very charged subject.”—Christiane Northrup, M.D., OB/GYN physician and author of the New York Times bestsellers Women's Bodies, Women's Wisdom and The Wisdom of Menopause “Vernacchio's no-blame, no-shame approach will inspire parents to drop their fears, judgments, and inhibitions in order to help their kids navigate the teen years.”—Publishers Weekly Updated to reflect societal changes over the past decade, an experienced educator’s effective and responsible guide to sex education for parents and teens that promotes healthy knowledge, values, and positive sexuality. When it comes to talking to kids about sex, parents often don’t know what to say. But our kids are talking—and seeing and listening and learning—about sex every day. Our kids know more about sex than we think they do. But our kids don’t know as much about sex as they think they do. Complicating matters, sexuality education in schools is often locally regulated, leading to medically inaccurate or faith- and abstinence-based curriculums, and in a growing number of states even that meager education is under threat. Enter sexuality educator Al Vernacchio, a teacher for more than thirty years, who has been an advocate of a new category: sex-positive education. In For Goodness Sex, he offers a realistic approach to teaching kids about this basic biological function, with advice and answers that go far beyond just the act itself. After all, Vernacchio argues, without a broader understanding to offset the damaging perceptions of sex that pervade much of our culture, adolescents and teens are unprepared for the complex intellectual and emotional decisions surrounding sex and consent. Thoughtful and expansive, For Goodness Sex offers the tools and information adults and young people need to have important conversations about sexuality and to develop the safe and healthy values that will carry them through the rest of their lives. Vernacchio’s landmark sex-positive approach gives parents the tools they need: The Pizza Model for Sex: A revolutionary, consent-based framework to replace the competitive and flawed ‘baseball model,’ helping teens understand sex as a shared, satisfying experience.Confident Communication Strategies: Scripts and conversation starters for a no-blame, no-shame approach that turns awkward talks into opportunities for connection.Navigating Tough Topics: Clear, practical advice for discussing complex subjects like gender identity, sexual orientation, pornography, and sexting with accuracy and compassion.Values-Based Decision-Making: Guidance on helping your teen develop a strong internal compass for making safe, healthy, and authentic choices about their bodies and relationships.

    Social Stratification

    Trends and Processes

    'The contributions in this book demonstrate the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary social stratification research. Ranging from chapters concerned with measuring social stratification to studies of lifecourse stratification processes, demographic and institutional effects, and political and policy responses, the contributors show an engaging willingness to question dominant approaches, propose new ways forward, and take evidence and argument seriously. There is also a welcome focus on countries less studied, including Central and Eastern Europe and South and Southeast Asia. The book reaffirms the relevance and the excitement of stratification research for understanding and explaining structures and dynamics in contemporary societies.' Mark Western, University of Queensland, Australia 'This book provides key contributions to the field of quantitative social stratification research and offers conceptual, analytical and practical insights - as well as a wealth of new empirical analyses - on the comparative effects and longitudinal patterns of social stratification across a range of contexts... This book contains several detailed analyses of specialist areas, which will undoubtedly make a substantial contribution to the field of social stratification research... On the whole, the book straddles a careful line between extolling the virtues of quantitative social stratification research and cautioning against extrapolating grand theoretical claims from statistical stories... a useful reference for quantitative widening participation researchers interested in learning about the latest social stratification research. It also provides an important reminder of the limitations and problems of empirical research, as well as highlighting some popular and policy (mis)interpretations.'

    For Goodness Sex

    Let's talk about sex. We do it all the time, don't we? We talk about our sex lives with friends; we gossip about celebrity hookups; we watch reality dating shows. Yet when it comes to talking to our kids—many of whom are in sexually intimate relationships—we are strangely silent. But our kids are talking—and seeing and listening and learning—about sex every day. Unfortunately the messages they receive are often problematic: boys are studs, girls are sluts; real sex should be like porn; hookups are better than relationships. Your kids know more about sex than you think they do. But your kids don't know as much about sex as they think they do. To make matters worse, most sexuality education in schools is either abstinence-only or abstinence-based—and both models tend to leave young people ill equipped to make fully informed decisions. Sexuality educator Al Vernacchio, a high school teacher for more than twenty years, has been an advocate of a new category: sex-positive education. In For Goodness Sex, Vernacchio refutes the "disaster prevention" model of sex ed, offering instead a progressive and realistic approach. Without a broader understanding to offset the damaging perceptions of sex that pervade much of our culture, adolescents and teens are dangerously unprepared intellectually and emotionally to develop as sexual beings, let alone cope with today's world of sex via smartphone, cyberbullying, and the precipitous rise of high school and college sexual assault. For Goodness Sex offers the tools and information adults and young people need in order to have important conversations about sexuality and to develop healthy values and safe habits.
