Garbes said that she doesn’t use the term “mothering” in a gender-specific or essentialist way, but to describe anyone who is called to nurture life.Ĭare work of all kinds is necessary to sustain society – whether childcare, elder care, healthcare, disability care, and other forms of care. Garbes spoke to an audience of 80 guests on Friday, January 27, 2023. Garbes joined host Adriane Lentz-Smith for a public conversation at the Durham Arts Council on Friday, January 27, 2023, as part of the Kenan Institute for Ethics’ event series “The Ethics of Now.” Garbes spoke about her book “Essential Care: Mothering as Social Change” and signed copies for audience members following the event. That work, according to author Angela Garbes, is mothering. It’s the work that makes all other work possible – yet it’s not often included in discussions of labor and economics.
