What is care? This course introduces students to key concepts and debates in Care Studies, an interdisciplinary field of scholarship on care across the health sciences and humanities. We begin with the history, theory, and knowledge from communities whose bids for care are impacted by disability, ethnicity, gender, race, citizenship, and other marginalizedidentities. We then apply methods and frameworks from women,gender, andsexuality studies to enhance student understanding of self-care, community and self-determination in relation to care labor and care economies in their lives and around the world.
