- Abstract
In 2012, I co-taught, with Anne-Charlott Callerstig, a master's course module at Linköping University in Sweden entitled "Intersectional Gender, and Institutional and Organizational Work". To honour Joan and her legacy, I was asked to send a personal statement testifying to Joan's impact on her life and work, to be collected together in a small book. In accordance with her materialist take, one of the key features of Joan's work was that she never forgot class, whilst the same time critiquing class (or at least patriarchal definitions and approaches), for neglecting gender and race, unpaid labour, the relations of distribution and the processual nature of power more generally (Acker, [1], [4], [5], [8], [9]). In working on both theory and empirics, it should not be forgotten that one of her final, if not the final, studies was a large collaborative empirical study from 1998 to 2000 on: 'Oregon Families who Left Temporary Assistance to Needy Families or Food Stamps' (Acker et al., [12]; Acker, Morgen, & Gonzales, [11]).
