A Union of Care: Moving Toward a Better Safety Net
I spoke with Dr. Jess Calarco about her recent book, . In the first half, which posted in the previous episode, Dr. Calarco shared how there are many labor-intensive tasks that are required for society to run in its current form and structure. But rather than ensure that those necessary tasks are done and paid for by the society that demands them, we dump them onto women, in the process limiting their ability to fully participate in society. In this episode, we continued to speak about why that is a problem, the ways that it manifests as such, and how we might build something better for everyone. Other resources recommended by Dr. Calarco: Also available as a Netflix show: Music is by Evan Schaeffer.
