 “Care, Work and Diversity” has been organized to promote new scholarship on the interplay between theories and experiences of employment and care (giving & receiving) with those of race, ethnicity, and other dimensions of social difference.  In focusing on graduate student research, the conference is intended to enhance graduate student presenters’ and attendees’ professional development through opportunities both to present research and build networks.

 

Continental breakfast provided; please RSVP to gradconf@u.washington.edu to reserve a free boxed lunch ($10 otherwise).  The conference is free and open to students, faculty and staff.

 

The conference is organized by the Working Group on Race, Class, Work & Care of the Harry Bridges Center for Labor Studies.
