Questions

1 – According to Michelle Murphy, care is composed of four different connected meanings. Her article focuses on feminism and decolonization as important avenues to think about care. Compare and contrast Murphys proposal to at least one (1) argument we have discussed in class (weeks 1 through 11, you choose) to answer this question:

How should we care?

2- Examining and describing diverse and quite complex care strategies may be a daunting task.
However, there are certain patterns or regularities (with obvious local variations) that allow us to have a clearer overview of care as shaped by broader structures and cultural features. Extractivism, colonial legacies, and gender inequalities are clear examples of these patterns.

Pick one of these patterns (or suggest another), connect it to at least two (2) of the course readings (need to be different from question 1), and explain its relevance and how the authors contribute to shed light on the entanglements of care as unequal experiences.
Highlight and reference the concepts or ideas from readings when referring to them.

** you can use Murphys work here. For example, one can be Murphys, and the other can be Kleinman’s if you didnt use it in the first question.
