Join the Center for Global Workers’ Rights for their ongoing speaker series!  ;

On Wednesday, February 9 at 7:00 p.m. EST, the center will featu re Dr. Jennifer Chun, associate professor of Asian American studies at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). 

Femini st scholars have long recognized the fraught relationship between domest ic servitude and the work of caring. Black and women of color feminism, in particular, developed the theoretical paradigm known as intersectiona lity, which has advanced understanding of how domestic workers’ ex periences of abuse and resistance are shaped by intersecting relations o f domination and subordination along with race, gender, class, migration , disability, and citizenship status.

Building on this rich schola rship, this paper asks: how is servitude reinforced, or undermined, when the state funds reproductive labor? In particular, it examines the expe riences of Korean and Chinese immigrant women who provide non-medical, d aily assistance to elderly, disabled, or chronically ill people in their own homes as part of California’s In-Home Supportive Services (IH SS) program.
