From Crisis to Catastrophe
Rutgers University Press (Verlag)
978-1-9788-2857-5 (ISBN)
The COVID pandemic has shaken the material and social foundations of the world more than any event in recent history and has highlighted and exacerbated a longstanding crisis of care. While these challenges may be freshly visible to the public, they are not new. Over the last three decades, a growing body of care scholarship has documented the inadequacy of the social organization of care around the world, and the effect of the devaluation of care on workers, families, and communities. In this volume, a diverse group of care scholars bring their expertise to bear on this recent crisis. In doing so, they consider the ways in which the existing social organization of care in different countries around the globe amplified or mitigated the impact of COVID. They also explore the global pandemic's impact on the conditions of care and its role in exacerbating deeply rooted gender, race, migration, disability, and other forms of inequality.
MIGNON DUFFY is Professor of Sociology at the University of Massachusetts - Lowell.

She was co-editor of Caring on the Clock: The Complexities and Contradictions of Paid Care Work (Rutgers University Press, 2015) and author of Making Care Count: A Century of Gender, Race and Paid Care Work (Rutgers University Press, 2011). AMY ARMENIA is Professor of sociology at Rollins College. She has published work on child care, care work, and family leave in Work and Occupations, the Journal of Family Issues, and Social Science Research.
