== Career ==
''Beyond Economic Man: Feminist Theory and Economics'', a 1993 book Nelson co-edited with Marianne A. Ferber, has been called a 'landmark' 〔Coughlin, Ellen K. 1993. Feminist Economists vs. ‘Economic Man’: Questioning a Field’s Bedrock Concepts, ''The Chronicle of Higher Education'', June 30, A8.〕 and the 'manifesto' of feminist economics.〔Steinberger, Michael. 1998. The Second Sex and the Dismal Science: The Rise of Feminist Economics, ''Lingua Franca'', November, p. 57.〕 A follow-up volume, ''Feminist Economics Today'', summarizes the development of the field over the following ten years 〔Jacobsen, Joyce P. Review of ''Feminist Economics Today''. ''Journal of Economic Literature'', XLIII, March 2005, pp. 138-140.〕 Nelson is author or co-author of four additional books and numerous academic articles on both feminist theory and the empirical study of household behavior. Her 2006 book ''Economics for Humans'' dismisses the view that markets are inexorable "machines" and discusses how a better understanding of the relation of economics and values could improve both business and care work.〔Allemang, John. Review of ''Economics for Humans'', ''The Globe and Mail'', October 9, 2006.〕 She argues that the current economic language that refers to the economic "machine" is inherently masculine, focussing on 'detachment, mathematical reasoning, formality and abstration',〔Economyths, by David Orrell, page 140〕 and suggests that updated language that refers to the economy as, for example, a "beating heart" would better frame discussions about the economy in terms of values.〔Nelson, Julie. "Economic Jargon," podcast interview for Economica: Women and the Global Economy, October 2009.〕 Her most recent work addresses issues of ethics and economics, particularly in relation to climate change.
Nelson was a founding member of the International Association for Feminist Economics and is an Associate Editor of the journal ''Feminist Economics''. Nelson started her career at the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics, subsequently became a tenured Associate Professor at the University of California, Davis, and then moved to the Boston, Massachusetts area where she is currently Professor of Economics at the University of Massachusetts Boston and a Senior Research Fellow with the Global Development and Environment Institute. 20 years after the publication of ''Beyond Economic Man'', she wrote the foreword to the anthology ''Counting on Marilyn Waring: New Advances in Feminist Economics''.
