Voces Críticas ~ Francesca Degiulu March 30 2018

An interview with Dr. Francesca Degiuli, Assistant Professor of Sociology and the director of the Gender Studies Minor at Fairleigh Dickinson University. She is also a Visiting Fellow in the Center for European and Mediterranean Studies at NYU. She has written numerous articles on the topics of gender, globalization and migration throughout the years exploring different subjects from labor laws in China to undocumented students in the United States. She discussed her first book, Caring for a Living: Migrant Women, Aging Citizens, and Italian Families (2016, Oxford University Press). This ethnography explores the challenges facing postindustrial societies with an aging population, such as Italy, and the difficult work performed by eldercare workers who are im/migrant women.
