ARTiculate Geography with Political Economy - Geographies of capitalism

Geographies of capitalism: Putting the economy in its place
From the food we eat to the mobile phones we use to connect with our friends, our lives are linked to the global economy.
This webinar will focus on the everyday life of the economy, exploring how everything places us within a global web of economic relationships while introducing an 'economic geography' perspective. Students will be encouraged to think critically about the themes such as globalisation, inequality, technology, work and climate change while reflecting on their own experiences as consumers.
This webinar is presented by Dr Gareth Bryant, a political economist at the University of Sydney. Dr Bryant works as a senior lecturer in the Department of Political Economy and as economist-in-residence with the Sydney Policy Lab.
Dr Bryant researches how public policy and public finance can create more sustainable, equal and democratic economies. His research has focused on issues including climate change, higher education, housing, labour and Indigenous justice. His research crosses the disciplines of heterodox economics, economic geography and economic sociology.
