The working group “Feminist Alternatives beyond Development Models: Putting Life at the Centre” intends to deepen the reflection on the prevailing neoliberal development paradigm in the context of the future of work. The dialogue created between feminists from Ghana, Argelia, South Africa, Uruguay and Thailand revisited the patterns of development discourses in the new era of digitalized capitalism and tried to critically look behind the promises of a “brave new world” that digital optimists often advertise. In this special edition of the Feminist Dialogue Series the Uruguayan ecofeminist Lucía Delbene Lazama advocates for an alternative approach to human development and to promote meaningful lives in a feminist future, based on respect for humans, nature and workers’ livelihoods.
