Two events were held on Monday, November 13th 2023 to evaluate the promises and impact of the convention on domestic workers\u2019 everyday experiences and organising efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"roundtable-discussion-domestic-worker-organising-in-latin-america\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roundtable Discussion: Domestic Worker Organising in Latin America<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The roundtable discussion featured a discussion of domestic worker organising in Latin American by four scholars: Mar\u00eda Lis Baiocchi (CONICET\/FLACSO, Argentina), Friederike Fleischer (Universidad de los Andes, Colombia), Brandon Hunter-Pazzara (Georgetown University, US), and Dario Valles (California State University, Long Beach, US), moderated by Erynn Masi de Casanova (University of Cincinnati, US).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"What is Work Roundtable Discussion\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xOGB-B4xTe0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"keynote-address-caring-for-care-workers-domestic-workers-organization-and-resistance-in-times-of-crisis-by-jean-francois-mayer-department-of-political-science-concordia-universit\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keynote Address: \u201cCaring for Care Workers: Domestic Workers Organization and Resistance in Times of Crisis\u201d by Jean Fran\u00e7ois Mayer, Department of Political Science, Concordia University<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This presentation focuses on the lived experiences of the women of the Union of Domestic Workers of the City of S\u00e3o Paulo (STDMSP) during and after the pandemic. The STDMSP adapted to the crisis by diversifying its capacities beyond its habitual advocacy-driven concerns, to emphasize service and solidarity provision. In particular, the everyday informal provision of care and psychological support by union activists to domestic workers allowed the STDMSP to retain relevance and increase its legitimacy, leading to a boom in membership. Far from remaining passive in the face of oppression, domestic workers also devised a series of hidden and open strategies to resist workplace violence. Overall, findings suggest that unions can play a key role in empowering and organizing domestic workers when offering care and solidarity provision \u2013particularly psychological support\u2014in addition to their usual advocacy services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Caring for Care Workers: Domestic Workers Organization and Resistance in Times of Crisis\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/1gnslOTkhCI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Supported by the Department of Political Science, Department of Sociology &amp; Anthropology, the Institute of Political Economy, the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program, and the Faculty of Public Affairs at Carleton University as well as the Social Science and Humanities Research Council.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"changes-in-care-aging-migration-and-social-class-in-west-africa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Changes in care: Aging, Migration and Social Class in West Africa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This event took place on November 1, 2023<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Coe discussed her recent book on aging in Ghana with Dr. Mary Owusu and Dr. Rianne Mahon, as part of the Knowing Africa seminar series organised by the Institute of African Studies at Carleton University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Changes in Care: Aging, Migration, and Social Class in West Africa.\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CQxTrP2vDig?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Work?
