Frigga Haug with Jeta Mulaj

In this episode, Juliette Marchant is joined by Jeta Mulaj, Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy at Toronto Metropolitan University, to discuss the work of Frigga Haug: Marxist feminist theorist, sociologist, and one of the most important thinkers of social reproduction and collective emancipation in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.Together, Mulaj and Marchant explore what makes Haug’s work so enduring and generative: her critique of capitalist social relations, her theory of women’s labor and social reproduction, and her insistence that emancipation must transform everyday life as much as economic structures. From questioning the relationship between victimhood and agency, to the “four-in-one perspective,” the conversation highlights Haug as a thinker who challenged both economistic Marxism and liberal feminism, urging instead a democratic, collective reimagining of work, care, education, and human flourishing under and beyond capitalism.Texts Referenced in the Episode:Selected Writings of Frigga Haug on Experience, Labour, and Critique - Edited by Jeta Mulaj and Alexandra ColligsThe “Four-in-One Perspective”: A Manifesto for aMore Just Life - Frigga Haug
