"Editing as Carework"

7 February 2020: “The more aligned editing becomes with feminized worlds of teaching, service, and care, the less cultural capital such work accrues.” --Sarah Blackwood, "Editing as Carework: The Gendered Labor of Public Intellectuals"

I've been thinking about this article since I read it yesterday. It intersects with so many projects I am working on--the long-in-the-works "book" project, the Larcom piece, another piece on Harriet Jacobs. But it also comments on my whole "balance" project and my need to say "no" more. (This, on the day I learn, via email, that I've been put on another committee...)
