Behind statistics about aging, disability, mental health, and companion animals lies the concrete labor of feeding, cleaning, accompanying, comforting, and making decisions. Much of that work remains invisible and falls disproportionately on women and families.
Researchers and practitioners working across disability, aging, mental health, palliative care, social design, wildlife, and food systems ask how care can become a shared social good rather than a private sacrifice. Their firsthand experience opens more imaginative ways to support both caregivers and those receiving care.
