Join the Institute for Research on Race and Public Policy, Gender and Women's Studies, the Department of Disability and Human Development, and Gallery 400 for our virtual Fall Intracollege Lunchtime Lecture featuring four UIC scholars who study the topic of care work with various approaches and brings together those who are interested in care studies at UIC and beyond. Care has been a long term focus of study and analytical framework for gender, labor, and disability studies (among others). The COVID-19 crises led more scholars to engage with its potential not only at the interpersonal level but also in its capacity to transform how our institutions and society are set up. UIC has been an incubator for care studies with scholars studying movements for social justice by domestic workers as well as disabled people.
We will have live captioning for this event. For other access needs or questions, please email us at irrpp@uic.edu.

About the Series: IRRPP's Intracollege Lunchtime Lecture Series provides brief but substantive overviews of the research on race, ethnicity, and public policy being produced by UIC scholars and funded by IRRPP. The panelists will discuss their projects, explore the connections between them, and use their work as a way to interrogate the themes in race research that cut across disciplinary lines.
