Drawing on current anthropological approaches to labour, this talk will examine some of the moral politics mobilized around women and artisanal mining in policy-inflected scholarship as well as within particular gold mining zones in Tonkolili district, Sierra Leone. In so doing the presentation suggests that such a focus on labour not only allows one to appreciate how sentiments concerning (im)proper behaviour infuse wider policy proposals to amend social arrangements in regards to what is called “artisanal mining,” but it also offers insight into some of the enduring moral politics helping to constitute women as “family workers” in the actual artisanal gold mining zones. The talk suggests examining the overlapping moral politics constituting women’s labour practices provides a more supple understanding of the contested economic possibilities for women in this economic livelihood.

塞拉利昂手工采矿中性别劳动的道德政治

利用当前的人类学劳动方法，本次演讲将探讨在受政策影响的奖学金以及塞拉利昂通科利利区的特定金矿区中围绕妇女和手工采矿所动员的一些道德政治。通过这样做，演讲表明，对劳动力的这种关注不仅使人们能够理解关于（不）适当行为的情绪如何注入更广泛的政策建议，以修正与所谓的“手工采矿”有关的社会安排，而且它还提供了洞察力进入一些持久的道德政治，有助于在实际的手工金矿区将妇女构成为“家庭工人”。
