By Amanda Wilson and Helin Burkay

As the co-editors write in their introduction听鈥淛anet鈥檚 ongoing commitment to praxis and the consistency with which she weaves together theory and practice, not only in her scholarship but in everyday life. We wanted to create a space of reflection and conversation about Janet鈥檚 work in feminist political economy and post-positivist methodology, but we also wanted to highlight her approach to mentorship and what we鈥檝e all experienced as her ethics of care.鈥
Janet retired in 2018 but remains a Professor Emerita in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at 杏吧原创 University, and a valued friend and mentor to many.
