34. Roundtable: The Rational Actor and Human Sociality: Crossing the Borders Between Feminist Economics and Anthropology
The roundtable will address approaches to understanding human behavior and well-being. Economics has traditionally started from the individual (along with all of the attendant problematic assumptions that feminist economists have found so troubling). Anthropology, on the other hand, has started from the perspective of culture and social relations. In the midst of this, feminist economists have moved towards thinking of people as living in relation (rather than as individuals), but have not drawn very explicitly from anthropological approaches. Two examples concern concepts of care and individual choice, which are approached differently by the two disciplines. Can feminist economics, anthropology (and perhaps other disciplines) enrich one another with respect to issues of relational living?
