DFM WG1 Themes and outputs

Instructions for contributors

This is a draft list of suggested themes and outputs for DFM Working Group 1: Social Economy.

We have started out with a list of themes identified at the meeting of December 16, 2020. It was proposed that key questions could be listed for each theme.

Group members: please add your ideas here. You can add themes or outputs, expand the bullet points, add sections or sub-points, etc. (we can clean things up later as necessary).

You can also leave general comments or questions on the "discussion" page.

Themes and key questions of interest

• feminist ecology, intersectionality, political ecology
• intra-household dynamics
• Migration (as affecting production and consumption of dried fish)
• Child labour, forced labour, exploitation
