"‘Nothing comes without its world’: thinking with care." The Sociological Review 60.2 (2012): 197-216. - -> Caring can be defined most simply as the relationships and activities involved in maintaining people on a daily basis and intergenerationally. Caring labor involves three types of intertwined activities. First, there is direct caring for the person, which includes physical care (e.g., feeding, bathing, grooming), emotional care (e.g., listening, talking, offering reassurance), and services to help people meet their physical and emotional needs (e.g., shopping for food, driving to appointments, going on outings). The second type of caring labor is that of maintaining the immediate physical surroundings/milieu in which people live (e.g., changing bed linen, washing clothing, and vacuuming floors). The third is the work of fostering people's relationships and social connections, a form of caring labor that has been referred to as "kin work" or as "community mothering." An apt metaphor for this type of care labor is "weaving and reweaving the social fabric." All three types of caring labor are included to varying degrees in the job definitions of such occupations as nurses' aides, home care aides, and housekeepers or nannies. Each of these positions involves varying mixtures of the three elements of care, and, when done well, the work entails considerable (if unrecognized) physical, social, and emotional skills. -- Evelyn Nakano Glenn, Forced to Care: Coercion and Caregiving in America, Harvard University Press, 2010. https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#/book/ab05564f-e1b0-4172-94ac-39efe920768f ## Grounding exercise: Organisational Mapping of Care @@ -60,7 +57,7 @@ Map a typical day in your everyday life across the different organizations/insti As a second step, add into the map (some or all) the main people with whom you interact in the different organisations. -Now consider the following definition of care offered by Evelyn Nakano Glenn (author of Forced to Care: Coercion and Caregiving in America, Harvard University Press, 2010): +Now consider the following definition of care offered by Evelyn Nakano Glenn (author of [Forced to Care: Coercion and Caregiving in America](https://library.memoryoftheworld.org/#/book/ab05564f-e1b0-4172-94ac-39efe920768f), Harvard University Press, 2010): > Caring can be defined most simply as the relationships and activities involved in maintaining people on a daily basis and intergenerationally.
