Benson, Michaela and Sirriyeh, Ala and Benson, Michaela and Tungohan, Ethel (2023) BtH2 E2 Beyond the Headlines ... Care Activism with Ethel Tungohan. Who do we think we are? Beyond the Headlines.

Abstract

Migrant laborers worldwide are engaged in care work, but who provides care for them? And where can they seek care? In this discussion with Ethel Tungohan, the author of 'Care Activism', we go beyond the headlines that portray migrant domestic workers as victims or heroes. By focusing on their daily lives and the experiences of migrant care workers, we explore various sites of everyday resistance, ‘dissident friendships’, and the politics of critical hope and care.
