ICPR 290: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Gender and Sexuality (HC)

From the site: "We are a broad network of researchers organized into three working groups interested in incorporating issues related to care work and gender into the methods and tools used for formulating, implementing and analyzing macroeconomic and social policies. Specifically, our multi-disciplinary working groups are aiming to: bring gender dimensions into macroeconomic models, particularly in the case of care provisioning; gain a deeper understanding of the nature of care work by developing innovative measures and methodological approaches, and produce new research that illustrates the intersectionality of care provisioning, economic growth and distribution; and develop macromodels and analytic tools that integrate care work and other gendered behaviors to allow for more accurate policy analysis."

From their site: "The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA) works to win respect, recognition, and labor rights and protections for the more than 2.5 million nannies, house cleaners, and homecare workers who do the essential work of caring for our loved ones and our homes.
Every day, domestic workers do the work that makes all other work possible. They are the nannies that care for our children, the house cleaners that bring order to our home, and the care workers that ensure our loved ones can live with dignity and independence.
The majority of domestic workers sit at the center of some of our nation’s most decisive issues because of who they are and what they do: they are women – mostly women of color, immigrants, mothers, and low-wage workers. They are impacted by almost every policy affecting the future of our economy, democracy and country.
Domestic workers can lead us toward a new, inclusive vision for the future for all of us."
