Wed. May 13 9-11am ET: A Post-Pandemic Economy that Values Makers & Caregivers

[David Ing]

Since we're all online these days ... here's a webcast where participants can ask questions while in progress, or watch the playback afterwards.

For Systems Thinking Ontario fans ...  both Katie Kish and Sophie Sanniti have led sessions for us (before they decamped York U. for McGill U, and U. Waterloo, respectively).  They are active in CANSEE (Canadian Society for Ecological Economics) and Economics for the Anthropocene working group across McGill U., York U., and U. Vermont.

A Post-Pandemic Economy that Values Makers & Caregivers | Scheduled for May 13, 2020  on Youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-lhmXoz_7AE 

The COVID-19 pandemic has not only disrupted production chains and health-care systems, but also most directly threatens the wellbeing of the largely-invisible work force sustaining society.

In this special Sustain What takeover, ecological economics scholars Katie Kish, Sophie Sanniti and Katharine Zywert lead a discussion with host Andy Revkin exploring how revaluation of the care economy (teachers, parents, healthcare workers), coupled with a movement towards open-source and free knowledge, can create more resilient production chains and enhance long-term wellbeing -- for both people and the planet.
