Fragile Care
The Revaluing Care in the Global Economy project hosts an in-person Working Papers Seminar on Fragile Care, bringing together research on care at its most vulnerable edges—from maternal labor under conditions of health crisis to the emergent norms shaping human–machine relations. Through feminist theory, science and technology studies, and political economy, the seminar examines how care is reorganized, strained, and redefined across social and technological infrastructures. Friday, February 6, 2026 · 12:00–1:30 PM ET, in person.
Book Conversation with Jina B. Kim
Join us for a conversation with writer and scholar Jina Kim (Smith College) about her new book Care at the End of the World: Dreaming of Infrastructure in Crip-of-Color Writing (Duke University Press). Through this work, Kim reimagines care as a practice of survival, refusal, and collective world-building across disabled, queer, and racialized communities.
