There are scholars and activists all over the world concerned about the state of “work” today, and others concerned about the crisis of care. But there are few who focus on the ways they are inevitably interconnected.
This short paper builds upon the recent work by Jennifer Nedelsky and Tom Malleson, titled Part-Time for All: A Care Manifesto. The authors present a strong case for reimagining modern societies with a focus on care norms and practices. Care is intrinsically valuable and should not be exclusively linked to gender or perceived merely as a secondary concern in relation to work.
It is a great honor to announce that Jennifer Nedelsky, Professor Emerita of Law and Political Science at the University of Toronto, will join us in person at the Polo Lionello Bonfanti to deliver a keynote lecture in collaboration with the Economy of Francesco.

As part of the preparation for the online event in November, many villages have been activated to tell stories, of what has been lived in these months of work inside the villages. Colin Gilbert, shares with us the story of his friend Patrick Hidalgo.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about abrupt changes to the world of work and care, serving as a wake-up call to young economists to reflect on the true meaning of work and care and reconciling the two concepts in such a way as to enable each member of society to flourish.
On the theme 'Time as a gift' the conversation starters Emanuele Mendola and Michael Walter, talked about volunteering and why we would want to dedicate our time to others (just like we do for Economy of Francesco)!
