The speakers will address who are the working people? What relationships exis t between the urban and rural forms of labour and what does an assumed se paration of the urban and rural divide create – the genesis of the rura l/urban divide and the effect on the struggles of the working people. In discussing the relationship to the land how do we come to understand var ying forms of work?  The speakers\, in thinking through the agrarian que stion\, will provide analysis and insight into how we can understand gend er relations\, property relations and the state. Perhaps most critical to this approach is redefining how we understand forms of work in relation to the land under the assumption that land remains a critical space in th e global south.\\r\\nMonday 2nd November: Dr Ahmed Ibrahim (Carleton Colle ge) and Prof Catherine Besteman (Colby College) Land-scapes of Conflict in Southern Somalia\\r\\nTalks are open to all and will run each week.
