Greetings CELP colleagues! I'm excited to announce I'll be facilitating a workshop based on Caring Economy work at the Economics of Happiness Conference in Portland, OR on Feb. 28th. The workshop will look at parenting and caregiving and how they fit into our economic models and assumptions. Will introduce the Social Wealth Indicators and crowd-source ideas for change and innovation.

What a wonderful title! Moving the idea of Happiness into a conscious sphere of influence! Congratulations Grace, can't wait to hear how it goes! Considering that it's starting tomorrow it's a bit short notice - but I'll sign up for the mailing list.
Have a creative, innovative, stimulating, and wondrous time! Good luck with your presentation.
L'Chaim!
Thank you so much for your encouraging words! I'm thrilled to be bringing the two conversations together and looking forward to seeing what comes of it.
The Economics of Happiness work is ongoing, but so far I haven't seen much reference to care or caregiving work in their material. I suggested, and they said yes! Happy for the chance to bring it in.
Warmly,
Grace
