Project description

The CLACSO Working Group “The Future of Work and Care for the Common Home” is an interdisciplinary and interreligious research-action group that, following the model of social dialogue, is made up of different representatives from universities, trade unions, social movements, grassroots communities, churches, government departments and international offices. Dr. Beling served as an academic advisor to the Thematic Axis “Ecological Crisis” from 2020 to 2021.

Taking care of work and taking care of the common home are two vital aspects of reality that need to be addressed in tandem if a solution to the global ecological crisis is to be found. The work of the CLACSO WG “The Future of Work and Care for the Common Home” includes consolidating networks so that they can contribute their own knowledge as an input to the WG’s work and use its outputs as a point of departure for establishing new lines of action. For a comprehensive outline of the WG’s objectives, actions, and list of persons involved, see https://www.clacso.org/grupos-de-trabajo/grupos-de-trabajo-2019-2022/?pag=detalle&refe=5&ficha=1755.
