Care

Angebote / Angebote:

TIMELY DISCUSSION: The pandemic has revealed just how central care work is to our lives and our economy. The work of teachers, domestic workers, parents, and other care workers has been highlighted by the media, politicians, and activists. New books, from New York Times journalist Jessica Grose’s Screaming on the Inside to Dean Spade’s Mutual Aid, have addressed parts of the care crisis, but Nadasen’s book offers a much-needed historical and analytic framework for the growing care economy.NETWORKED AUTHOR: Nadasen has been involved in social justice organizing for decades, and is particularly well-connected to organizations like the National Domestic Workers Alliance. She has been a go-to talking head for media whenever feminism, labor movements, and grassroots organizing are in the news. She has appeared on KPFA, MSNBC, and Wisconsin Public Radio, and her writing and interviews have appeared in The Nation, Washington Post, Ms. Magazine, Jacobin, In These Times, Boston Review, and more.ACADEMIC POTENTIAL: Nadasen is a professor of history at Barnard and was president of the National Women’s Studies Association. She has connections with scholars in the fields of feminist and gender studies, labor, African American studies, and sociology, many of whom will assign the book for courses, and we expect blurbs from the likes of Barbara Ransby, Angela Davis, Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor, Joan Tronto, Robin D.G. Kelley, and Grace Chang.
