Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, the concept of “essential work” has been broadened from doctors and emergency responders to include a range of work and care. But does the term “essential worker” have any legal significance? If not, how could we imagine a legal category of “essential” work that would adequately value the care work that essential workers perform? This is especially important given that many of today’s essential workers, such as grocery clerks, farmworkers, and childcare providers, lack basic labor protections and job security, even as they are publicly lauded for their service...2021-01-211h 19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19COVID-19 and Gender ViolenceThe COVID-19 Pandemic and the lockdown measures that governments around the world implemented have also brought with them a spike in gender violence. This aspect intersects with the exacerbation of economic, racial, and political violence, among others. In this transnational dialogue between feminist activists and academics from Argentina, Ecuador, India, and Italy, they will address the multiple forms of violence that have crystallized in this global health crisis, and they will discuss the possibilities for action that feminism from different latitudes envision.  Moderator: Martha Liliana Espinosa  Speakers:  Verónica Gago i...2021-01-211h 00Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Transgender Care During CovidPart of ongoing series of workshops on re-valuing care in the time of covid19.2020-09-1554 minRevaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Promises and Perils of a COVID VaccineResearchers across the globe are busily working to manufacture a vaccine  that will halt the devastating spread of the novel coronavirus.  According to the World Health Organization, twenty-six vaccine  candidates are now in clinical evaluation. As case and mortality rates climb, a vaccine appears to many as the only way out of the  pandemic. Yet vaccine development and distribution raise a number of  ethical quandaries that cannot be separated from histories of medical  violence and mistrust—issues that are compounded by staggering health disparities  across communities of color, due to  economic an...2020-09-151h 03Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Special: Interview with ZHIZHU (Wuhan Mutual Aid Practitioner and Vlogger)***Special episode: A focused interview with ZHIZHI - a Wuhan mutual aid practitioner and vlogger*** ZHI ZHU is an independent filmmaker and a well-known vlogger, whose works have been well received on various Chinese social media platforms, including Sina Weibo and Bilibili.

This seminar is dedicated to an organic, accessible, and robust discussion of why the social justice initiative to “Defund the Police” is possible, necessary, and desirable. What does it mean (and what would it look like) to defund the police, and how does the current discourse track in academic vs. non-academic spaces? Who is this movement f...2020-08-1240 minRevaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Contact Tracing: Between Control and CareContact tracing has become one common practice to monitor and track the transmission of COVID-19 both regionally and globally. While the practice aims to take care of public health, its collection and use of data has still generated debates and concerns around the question of control, privacy and market, which, of course, also varies depending on different contact tracing approaches and conductors. With collective health on the one side and privacy protection on the other, how shall we balance control and care involved in contact tracing? How could we understand its implications and foresee its development? In this workshop...2020-08-071h 00Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Revaluing Care in the Times of Covid-19Mutual Aid Around the WorldThis workshop seeks to explore the emerging global phenomenon of mutual aid in the pandemic era. We invite mutual aid practitioners and researchers from Italy, China, and Argentina. They will share observations from the ground as well as offer insights about the embedded structural issues.
