Abolish the Family. Feminism for Care and Liberation

Sophie Lewis in conversation with Rosie Warren, a recording from the Socialism 2022 Conference. When have "family values" limited the left? What did utopianists in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries mean, exactly, when they said "abolish the family"? And which family, in a white-supremacist settler-colony, should we abolish? This session will explore how to decenter the private nuclear household as a source of care, and what that means for left politics and strategy.
