CANCELLED – Organising Childcare Workers<\/span><\/p>\n

Register here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Childcare is essential infrastructure; however, the sector is in crisis. Chronic under-funding and the financialisation\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0formal childcare has catalysed exploitative working conditions (underpaid, undervalued, poor health and safety, inadequate social protections) and led to family and kinship networks taking on ever-increasing labour and responsibility for informal childcare. The COVID-19 pandemic has both highlighted and exacerbated the vitality and fragility\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the childcare sector. This event will focus on the urgent issue\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0the organisation\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0childcare workers, drawing on a diverse range\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0academic and activist expertise, to identify how the pandemic has compounded an array\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0issues across the sector, and consider how this also may have changed the mechanisms for the political organisation\u00a0of<\/span>\u00a0childcare workers.<\/p>\n

Speakers: Kate Hardy<\/strong> (Associate Professor of<\/span> Work and Employment Relations at Leeds University Business School),\u00a0Veronica Deutsch<\/strong> (nanny, activist, and co-Executive Director of<\/span> the Nanny Solidarity Network) and Maud Perrier<\/strong> (Senior Lecturer in Sociology at Bristol University).<\/p>\n

Discussant: Sabrina Marchetti <\/strong>(Associate Professor of<\/span> Sociology at University Ca\u2019 Foscari in Venice).<\/p>\n

Chair: Daisy Barker<\/strong> (Member of the Centre for Alternative to Social and Economic Inequalities, Lancaster University and PhD Student in Sociology).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
