CRED Annual Lecture - 11th June 2009
What Love has to do with it?: Sexuality, Work and Power in Caribbean Gender Relations" Professor V. Eudine Barriteau, University of the West Indies.
The Lecture was followed by a reception with an African flavour Clinical Lecture Theatre, Francis Bancroft Building, Queen Mary, University of London Mile End, London EC1 4NS
In this lecture Professor Barriteau applies Anna Jonasdottir’s construction of ‘love power’ towards developing a theory of sexuality and power in the contemporary Commonwealth Caribbean using Barbados as a case study. She engages in a triple play on the meanings of the word ‘coming’ and anchors these meanings to black feminist theorising of the concept of ‘home’ (Barriteau 2006: 21-22; Carby 1997: 47; Smith 1983: 64-72). Barriteau explores some of the complications romantic loving pose for Caribbean women. She is particularly interested in revealing the continuities between ongoing attempts to subordinate women and the sense of powerlessness that often arises in women’s heterosexual, socio-sexual unions. I attempt to track how these complications become extrapolated into wider systemic inequalities, (especially in conditions of work and employment), even as these are simultaneously reflected back onto the individual relationships and their representations of gendered hierarchies of power and inequalities.
Barriteau foregrounds her analysis in the centrality of work in Caribbean women’s lives, as they navigate the intersections of the public and the private, production and reproduction. Her challenge is to work backwards and forwards from the dynamics of that basic union (played out in private, intimate spaces such as the home), to contemporary developments in Caribbean political economy.
Violet Eudine Barriteau is Professor of Gender and Public Policy of the University of the West Indies. She is Deputy Principal at the Cave Hill Campus, Barbados and was the first Head of the Centre for Gender and Development Studies, Nita Barrow Unit. Professor Barriteau has been awarded numerous academic scholarships and awards.

Teaching Critical Thinking to Business and Management Undergraduates:
Dr Emma Bell
A third year undergraduate module in Business Management devised by Dr
Emma Bell from the School of Business and Management won a Drapers’ Prize.
The module encourages students to be critical of the assumptions underpinning management education, including the status of management knowledge and practice. It highlights issues of power, the relationship of organisations to communities and environment, race, culture, gender, and ethics. Dr Bell’s display at the Drapers’ exhibition incorporated examples of students’ assessed work including learning diaries and portfolios of evidence, which are designed to encourage students to reflect on the learning process, and a film made by some of them highlighting issues raised by the Enron accounting scandal in 2001.
Dr Bell explained: “The course is about challenging the received wisdom of textbook versions of management knowledge. In the first two years of the course students are introduced to the foundations of management thought in areas such as strategy and marketing but these ideas are taught very separately. In this course we try to bring common issues together, and ask the students to integrate them. We also analyse the concept of management, asking whether management thought has helped us to build better organisations, an issue which is particularly resonant at the moment. The original aim of business schools was that through research we would come up with solutions to management problems and create more effective managers. The course involves the students in the debate about whether management knowledge does in fact do that. “Another key part of the course is that it encourages students to reflect on what they can do post-graduation, and the skills and careers they can develop. Ten per cent of all UK undergraduates have a business and management component to their degree and so it is important that our students doing a course that is entirely business and management oriented think about the subject area in more depth and consider what makes their degree different. Through the course they are encouraged to reflect on what they have done, what they think is important and how they will apply that in employment.”
Dr Bell teaches the course alone and expanding student numbers year on year will present challenges as the course relies on a good student-lecturer ratio. There is very little lecture based teaching on the course; most of the course takes place in groups of 20 students – either group work or structured reading groups. Assessing the course is also challenging: there is no exam and carrying out group assessment for 90 students is not easy. Dr Bell was delighted to win the Drapers’ Prize: "My main reason for entering was to let other areas of the College know what we are doing in the School of Business and Management and challenge some of the stereotypes – critical thinking is something we do in a range of courses in Business and Management. "I would like to use the prize money to keep track of some of our undergraduates. We have only had one cohort graduate from the course and so I am exploring the possibility of keeping in touch with them as they go into the workplace, which sits well with ethos of the course. By maintaining the relationship with our graduates I hope to keep their educational process relevant and perhaps involve them in some activities with undergraduates in future cohorts."
