Research Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a women’s historian (20th<\/sup> Century and Recent History), Dr. Veronica Norando is firmly committed to theory and practice. Her research topics cover the Americas’ History of Women, notably its feminist history, working women’s experiences, gender-based violence in domestic and workplace contexts, social reproduction and production, and female activism \u2013 the latter both non-politically affiliated and against the backdrop of feminist and left-wing organizations. Dr. Norando\u2019s research is enhanced by its strong use of theory: she borrows concepts from Feminist Political Economy, Socialist Feminism, and Anti-capitalist Feminist Theory. Finally, her approach is intersectional: Dr. Norando\u2019s analytical framework considers how gender, race, class, and age, among others such as nationality and religion, come together to produce social experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Veronica Norando\u2019s current research focuses on gender-based violence and the feminist movement in Latin America from a perspective of Feminist Political Economy from the end of the 19th Century to the present day. Her project investigates how the feminist movement addresses gender-based violence in different ways, as well as the origin of this gender-based violence. This project delves into Feminist Theory and Political Economy. Dr. Norando is currently developing a new theory that focuses on a mode of production that addresses more than just capital \u2013 it factors in the patriarchy. This theory approaches capital and patriarchy not as simple and separate systems that work in combination but as one and the same. To generate this theory, Dr. Veronica Norando uses concepts such as gender-based \u201cobjectified labour force,\u201d \u201cwork,\u201d \u201clabour,\u201d gender-based \u201cexploitation,\u201d \u201cunpaid domestic work,\u201d \u201cpaid work,\u201d \u201csocial reproduction as work,\u201d \u201csocial reproduction\u201d and \u201cproduction,\u201d among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
