CARE: Doing, Knowing, Being

What counts as care? For whom? In what contexts? And to what effects? In this course, we will draw on a range of ethnographic work, including cultural and linguistic anthropology, as well as feminist and indigenous theory, media, and activist literature to explore contemporary issues of care. In the three aspects of the class - doing, knowing, being - we examine care as a concrete everyday practice, one that is rooted in and shapes ways of understanding the world, and which has far-reaching implications that both reproduce and resist multiple intersecting inequalities.
