The global capitalist system thrives on the movement of capital, labor, and goods across borders. However, these flows often spark geographically rooted conflicts—from debates over international trade deals and domestic labor regulations to urban protests in public squares and the invisible labor within homes.
Our department's political economy focus explores capitalist transformations through Marxist, post-structuralist, feminist, and institutional lenses, analyzing changes in production, jobs, and wealth accumulation across sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.
Beyond studying formal workplaces and employer-worker dynamics, we prioritize how social reproduction and daily survival shape key sociospatial phenomena, from energy use patterns to worker mobility across regions.
