Verónica Gago

Verónica Gago, a professor of social sciences at the University of Buenos Aires and the National University of San Martín, is a prominent political theorist and activist working on issues of feminism and the global political economy. Her most recent books, A Feminist Reading of Debt (2021, with Luci Cavallero) and Feminist International (2020), explore gender dynamics at the intersection of local, national, and global political and economic forces. In her widely acclaimed Neoliberalism from Below: Popular Pragmatics and Baroque Economies (2017), Gago documented the lived experiences of informal workers and their creative strategies of resistance, with a focus on women and marginalized communities. She is a leader in Argentina’s #NiUnaMenos (Not One Women Less) movement as both a theorist and an activist.
