Care-Centered Politics: From Home to the Planet

Dr. Robert Gottlieb will talk about his new book Care-Centered Politics: From Home to the Planet on Oct. 20 from 5-6:30 p.m. in Goodwin Forum, Cal Poly Humboldt. His book presents a framework for creating a more just and equitable care-centered world. Climate change, pandemic events, systemic racism, and deep inequalities have underscored the centrality of care in our lives. Gottlieb examines how a care economy and care politics can influence and remake health, climate, and environmental policy, as well as the institutions and practices of daily life. Gottlieb is Professor Emeritus of Urban and Environmental Policy at Occidental College.
