Curiosity List: The Rising Status of Care

This piece is part of Koreo Futures, a project looking at the future of good work. Through a series of provocations, we’re exploring some of the trends affecting work which seeks to affect social change. You can read the introduction to the project here. This first provocation is about the rising status of care and is made up of an article, a research bank, some comment from experts, this reading/watch list, and some ideas for taking the conversation back into organisations and teams.
