This digital issue features work on and around the act of caretaking in the Anthropocene.
‘In this special issue, I want to locate ways of thinking about caretaking, both from a parental perspective and on a wider ecological level, operating in the spaces between populist positivity and the negative emotions rightly associated with climate crisis’
Cailin Maling, guest editor.
