Dear Colleagues,

Please consider submitting an abstract to this panel for NWSA’s annual conference November 14-17, 2019:
CFP: Feminist Temporalities and Care Ethics

From the organizing of care work across borders in the International Domestic Workers Federation to rejection of the Davos postfeminism of "lean in," the current moment is rich with activism and scholarship devoted to the role of care in feminist visions of justice. Work in feminist economics, health, sociology, history, public policy, humanities, the arts, and environmentalism have taken up the question of care from many perspectives, investigating the politics of embodiment, the racial hierarchies of care, unpaid emotional labor, Marxism and the labor of care, worker organizing, and environmental sustainability. This panel seeks papers that focus on how the turn to an ethics of care might (or might not) challenge the dominant temporal orderings of global capital in its organizing of the future through large-scale  “slow violence” and in the social norms of everyday life.  What are the possibilities and pitfalls of using care ethics as a frame to imagine/organize for transformational justice?

Send 50-100 word abstracts to [log in to unmask] <mailto:[log in to unmask]> by February 15th. Include any audio-visual requirements with the abstract.


Thanks,
Ann
