Thinking about care
We are a group of people who think about care. We are researchers, writers, activists, policy analysists, parents, partners, children, and friends. We give and receive care every day. We are also cultural and institutional analysts who focus on the factors that affect people’s capacity and willingness to care for each other. We pay particularly close attention to social inequality, to work, consumption and insecurity, to dependency and need, and to the linkages between “private troubles and public issues.”

But how do we do this in academic arenas when we do not have a popular nor academic language that captures the essence if care? The language we use still is logically organized by economic or public discourses (dare I say masculinist foundations). We have still not shifted the value system…caregivers are still workers and care recipients are still passive dependents and caregiving is still feminized without valuing the essence of caring.

Lynet, you outline the challenges well! And there is the question of whether you can ever dismantle the value system from within. Still it is important to keep talking about it, so that when the culture is moveable we can move it in the right direction…

Hi, I recently came across your blog through the mothers centers newsletter. In late 2010 I graduated from the Australian National University on a topic that is centrally related to your site. My thesis was called: Maternal Ambivalence in contemporary Australia: navigating equity and care. The data from 16 in-depth and semi-structured interviews with contemporary women-as-mothers was framed with the work of Martha Fineman in the Autonomy Myth, and Eva Kittay’s work on ‘dependency theory’ in Loves Labour and more. And chapter six talks about the work on care by Nancy Fraser, Anne Orloff amongst others who emphasise a need for transformational change. My thesis is available online and you can find it through a google search. I’d be available to do a guest post if you were interested.
Thanks, Joan G

You can contact me at: inquiry44@gmail.com – regards, Joan

Today, I went to the beach front with my kids. I found a sea shell and gave it to
my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

Tip 3 – Before you use each tool make sure that the appropriate amount of lubricant has been added before you use it.
This will help keep your family, and your
neighbours from cringing every time you get your tools out to do some work.
It uses screws (rotors) which maintain perfect alignment using timing gears.

Some have a short bar with a static weight on each end.
Dumbbells are quite simply the best exercise equipment,
no other piece of equipment is so easy to use yet can be used for
nearly every muscle group. Inhale as you lift the weights and exhale when you release each weight.

Purchasing a Porter Cable saw is definitely a worthwhile investment.
If you are in the market for a portable table saw that can stand up to daily use, a Dewalt should be on your must-see list.
No one thinks he will ever have an accident while using
power tools, but unfortunately, they do happen.

Hiya! Quick question that’s completely off topic. Do you know how to

I’m trying to find a theme or plugin that might be able to correct this issue.
If you have any suggestions, please share. Thank
you!
