Anthropology has long recognized that care work is hidden work–categorized as informal or found within the private sphere. Care work is overlooked, gendered, and devalued. To better address issues surrounding reproductive and care work in ways relevant to social
service or policy, this panel explores how people think about and value this work. Papers might examine, 1) how people define which practices are associated with care and reproductive work, and 2) how this work relates to other aspects of self, such as career
identity, cultural affiliation, kinship, and community roles. We welcome cross-cultural perspectives that also recognize how care work intersects with systems of gender, race, class, and sexuality.</div>
