See here for a recording of Dr. Robert Gottlieb's Oct. 20, 2022, lecture about his new book "Care-Centered Politics: From Home to the Planet."

This agenda-setting book presents a framework for creating a more just and equitable care-centered world. Climate change, pandemic events, systemic racism, and deep inequalities have all underscored the centrality of care in our lives. Yet care work is, for the most part, undervalued and exploited. In this book, Robert 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. He shows how, through this care-centered politics, we can build an ethics of care and a society of cooperation, sharing, and solidarity. Gottlieb is a Research Associate in Humboldt's Department of Politics and Professor Emeritus of Urban and Environmental Policy at Occidental College. This talk was organized by the Department of Politics and the Department of Environmental Studies; it was co-sponsored by the Departments of Philosophy and of Sociology.
