Kelly connects with Jessica Calarco, a Sociologist and Associate Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. to discuss her latest book “Holding it Together: How Women Became America’s Social Safety Net. “

“Care flows through networks, and we all exist in networks of care.” 

“Learned helplessness manifests inequality.”
