Writings on Caregiving
In 2017, Critical Inquiry published my essay, “Towards a Philosophy of Care through Caregiving” in which I draw on my journals over an almost ten year period of caregiving, to reflect on the experience. You can find it here.
During my caregiving years, I read Jane Austen constantly. This prompted thoughts about Jane Austen’s novels and caregiving which I am currently writing about. In the meantime, this reflection on reading Emma while I cared for my mother appeared in the New York Times on the 200th anniversary of the publication of Emma.
