Joan Tronto "distinguishes between 'caring for,' which includes the physical aspects of hands-on care, 'caring about,' which describes our emotional investment in and attachment to others, and 'caring with,' which describes how we mobilise politically in order to transform our world" (21)
Care Collective encourages expansion of this: "these distinctions do not do justice to all care capacities and practices in their many diverse configurations and manifestations. Nor do they account for the paradoxes, ambivalences, and contradictions inherent in care and caretaking" (21)
or "the conflicting emotions that are inevitable part of different forms of care" (27)
