Caring is work. And most of the caring labor in the United States – both formal and informal – is done by women of color. Yet formal caregiving practices and fair labor standards – which disproportionately impact lower-income women and women of color – are given little attention in discussions of care policy. Furthermore, the current division of formal and informal care prevents the development of effective solutions for caregiver health.
Join us in a conversation about the care economy, domestic work, and the social vulnerability of caregivers around the world!
Place shapes how we engage with those around us. In a series of mini-projects, we examine housing, changing neighborhoods, placemaking, the arts, and social capital as a tool for generativity and social health.
