We are experiencing a global care crisis that the market will not solve. For decades, feminist activists, economists, and policymakers have strategically made the economic case for care. Yet what we truly seek are ways to care for one another and ourselves while political and systemic violence continues to erode the conditions that support our wellbeing and collective flourishing. This collection brings scholars and policy specialists to the problem of re-valuing a profoundly devalued human and ecological activity. Chapter contributors consider care as a practice rooted in our daily lives, a topic of global and national policy concern, a site of ecological and racial capitalist violence, and a method of feminist pedagogical intervention. Thinking toward caring futures, we return to a simple premise: care work is neither simply a natural inclination nor a personal matter. Our capacity to care, and the quality of the care we receive and provide, is contingent on the political, material, and social conditions of our lives. The authors in this collection build on this recognition by reimagining policy and practice to centre care, offering hope at a time of global instability and crisis.
