The Cornell-SEWA-WIEGO Dialogue Group was started in 2003, to advance discussions between economists, other social scientists, and ground level activists working on issues of labor, gender and poverty. In the last five years the group has met five times: at the SEWA Academy in Ahmedabad in January, 2004; at Harvard University in October, 2004; at Cornell University in November, 2006; in Durban in March, 2007; and in Ahmedabad and Delhi in March, 2008. This compendium brings together reflections after the sixth meeting of the group, in Oaxaca, Mexico.
