Description
Jane Collins, Community & Environmental Sociology and Gender & Women’s Studies
While the 2011 Wisconsin uprising gave voice to multiple political impulses, one key element was the coming together of those who provided public service with those who depended on them. This talk argues that these moments of solidarity represented an emergent coalition around what feminists have called “social reproduction”—a 21st century feminist version of what Daniel Bell referred to as the “public household.”
