The Global Carework Summit, organised by the Carework Network and hosted by the University of Massachusetts Lowell’s Center on Women and Work, brought together more than 150 attendees from 25 countries at the University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) in the USA during 1–3 June 2017. The Carework Network, formed almost 20 years ago by a small group of sociologists studying care, is an all-volunteer, international organisation of researchers, policymakers and advocates involved in various domains of care work.
