  • Summary

  • In our second episode, we welcome Emily Kenway, a social justice researcher, campaigner and author of "Who Cares: The Hidden Crisis of Caregiving, and How We Solve It".

    We discuss the importance of defining unpaid care work, how being an unpaid carer can positively shape our personalities, and ways to sustainably incorporate caring into our society. We also discover why women are more likely to become carers, and how important families of choice are in society.
