Waging Love

Waging Love is a documentary podcast examining the systems that shape early care and education — and the people who sustain it.This series explores how race, gender, labor, policy, and power intersect in the field of care. From Indigenous knowledge systems to Black caregiving traditions, from immigrant labor to the positioning of white women in early education, Waging Love asks difficult questions about how care became undervalued — and who carries its weight.Blending research, storytelling, and reflective analysis, this podcast moves beyond surface-level workforce conversations to examine governance, hegemony, belonging, and the politics of care.This is not a podcast about a “shortage.” It is a podcast about structure. And about what it would mean to fund love as infrastructure.
