Bakker joined York University as an associate professor in political science in 1990. [2] She later became the first female chair of the department. [3] In 2003,Bakker and Stephen Gill published a book titled "Power,Production and Social Reproduction:Human In/security in the Global Political Economy" to argue that social reproduction should be the focus of global political economy,as opposed to power and production. [4] On March 22,2004,Bakker was named a Fulbright Program New Century Scholar for her work in feminist political economy. Under the title of a Fulbright Scholar,Bakker spent five months as a visiting scholar at the United Nations Division for the Advancement of Women. [5]
In 2008,Bakker edited a policy research paper with Dr. Janine Brodie after consultation with the Policy Research Fund of Status of Women Canada. The paper,titled "Where Are the Women?," focused on gender within contemporary Canadian public policy and was published through the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. [6] [7] She also edited a book with Rachel Silvey titled "Beyond States and Markets:The Challenges of Social Reproduction," which argued there was a link between social reproduction and power and production. [8] In 2009,Bakker became the first York professor to be awarded a Trudeau Fellowship for her work in feminist and critical political economy. [9]
In 2011,Bakker was one of three York professors to be elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. [10] That year,she also co-edited a book through Routledge titled "Questioning Financial Governance from a Feminist Perspective" which aimed to analyze the role gender plays in fiscal and monetary policy,and financial regulation. After being named a Distinguished Research Professor by York in 2014, [11] Bakker was appointed a Tier 1 York Research Chair in Global Economic Governance,Gender and Human Rights. [12]
