On the left side of the photo, a woman is standing with her arms crossed.  On the  right side, a woman is standing and smiling. In each of her hands, she is holding the hand of a child. All people in the photo are covered by shadows, so it is difficult to tell their exact facial expressions.

Sara Farris, one of the participants in our conference, shares her hard-hitting film on social reproduction and racialized migrant life: Care Inc. Testimonies of care home and nursery workers

Sara R. Farris is a sociologist based at Goldsmiths University of London. She is the author of In the name of women’s rights. The rise of femonationalism (Duke University Press, 2017). Her work explores: the relationship between migration, gender and social reproduction; the contemporary financialisation and corporatisation of care homes and childcare and the ways these processes rely upon (and inform) migrant labour mobility and low-wage economies; the cultural and economic representations of migrant populations and the racialisation of sexism.
