The emotional labour and knowledge work of marginalized communities

In celebration of May Day (also known as International Workers’ Day), the Democratic Socialists of Vancouver (DSoV) will be hosting a reading group to bring light to invisible forms of labour. We will be covering the following topics through reading and discussion: What is emotional labour? What is knowledge work? And how do marginalized communities shoulder the burden of these responsibilities in the broader world and in leftist/ activist spaces? Finally, what do we do to challenge these forms of exploitation? 

Please be aware that the DSOV reading group abides by the organization’s statement of principles.
