The Political Economy of Care: Sustaining Households, Communities, and Environments
Jocelyn H. Olcott
Description from DukeHub
This seminar explores the ways that ideas about political economy have informed the value that societies place on various forms of care, including for non-human environments, for social and cultural practices that connect societies, and for members of those societies who are unable to care for themselves. It is connected to an ongoing working-papers seminar that forms part of the Revaluing Care in the Global Economy research project. This seminar is open to graduate students and advanced undergraduates and can serve as a capstone for History majors.
