In this article, Lynn Parramore discusses what sexual harassment is, where it happens and how to measure its costs. The author argues that beyond the expenses in providing sexual harassment training, legal settlements, and lawsuits, sexual harassment has indirect costs due to lower productivity, higher turnover and reputational harm regarding those affected, which are more difficult to measure. But, according to Parramore, the cultural shifts and new information appearing in connection with the #MeToo movement provide a golden opportunity for social scientists to illuminate the vast economic dimensions of a mammoth problem.

Drawing from feminist analysis the double burden, the undervaluation of feminised labour, the commodification of affective labour and the remittance economy are inquired into. Moreover, it is discussed how welfare regimes rely on the different organization of care work.

In this short Video Silke Helfrich discusses the basics of commons. It’s an introduction into the essence of commons from a perspective stemming from outside the economic discipline that focuses on social practice. Her perception challenges the economic mainstream’s perception of common goods and goes beyond a purely materialistic conceptualisation of commons.
