Their work bridges political science and feminist theory, focusing on gendered structures in global governance and the political economy of care.
Their research centers on feminist state theories, social reproduction, and the politics of time. Key interests include how international organizations like the League of Nations and the United Nations have historically defined economic activity in ways that exclude unpaid care and domestic labor, reinforcing gendered divisions of labor. They critically examine quantification as a technique of boundary-making, revealing how statistical classifications embed androcentric and Eurocentric assumptions.
Friederike Beier is a co-editor of femina politica, a leading German journal for feminist political science, and has published on materialist queer feminism and the theory of social reproduction. Their work contributes to ongoing debates about visibility, measurement, and valuation of reproductive labor in international political economy.
