  • Week 1: Intro to Care Theories
    We introduced participants to care theories, from bell hooks to Feminist Business and Racial Wellness. During this session, we explored existing theories of care and participants self-defined the elements of care that were most important to their unique practices.
  • Week 2: Expressions of Care
    Building on the first session, we examined how care is expressed both inside and outside of work. Participants documented behaviors that made them feel cared for and those that did not. We then translated these insights to identify areas of interest for further exploration in the following session.
  • Week 3: The Cost of Care
    In this session, we discussed the resources required to foster and sustain care, including time, money, inspiration, trust, joy, and vulnerability. We also addressed the challenges that arise when these resources are limited.
