Research interests: feminist political economy and social reproduction; motherhood; public policy; economic precarity; neoliberalism; auto/ethnography and narrative research

Hanna Jalal received her MA in Gender, Feminist, and Women's Studies at York University. Hanna’s research interests lie in interrogating issues of prescribed economic precarity as experienced by single mothers in Toronto, particularly in relation to issues of neoliberalism, globalization, and late stage capitalism. She largely utilizes transnational feminisms as a guiding framework, seeking to render legible the implications of nuanced and contextual identity (race, class, gender, etc.) formations in the conception and implementation of Canadian public policy. Hanna is deeply passionate about challenging the contemporary cost of living crisis in which Canadians are embroiled, and incredibly excited to be engaging with this work at the PhD level.
