Yoshizaki-Gibbonsargues that old women with dementia and immigrant women of color care workers areengaged in freedom-making and abolitionist practices that “rage against themachine” by resisting and unsettling the dominant temporalities that constrainor restrict care. Specifically, the care dyad rejects a politics of isolationand disposability, which are key to carceral systems, by giving time to andmaking time for one another. These gifts of time represent a divestment frominstitutional and state power and control, and an investment in relationships,care, and community. Dr.Hailee Yoshizaki-Gibbons is an assistant professor inbiomedical humanities. She received her Ph.D. in disability studies with aconcentration in gender and women’s studies from the University of Illinois atChicago. Yoshizaki-Gibbons’s research employs an intersectional lens to examinethe ways gender, race, class and immigration status mediate the lives of oldand disabled people and those who care for them. As a scholar activist,Yoshizaki-Gibbons advocates for greater inclusion of old and disabled people,particularly those with dementia, in society.

March 27, 2023 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm Register for this workshop The world is changing fast and, today more than ever, traditional modes of assessment fail to capture the learning that happens everywhere and at every age.

The University of Maine System (UMS) offers professional development opportunities that result in a verified micro-credential for those who want to update their skillset. A fully stacked micro-credential badge indicates that you have successfully completed a high-quality and rigorous training and were able to demonstrate the skills you developed in a work-based setting. Micro-credentials prove to your employer that you have skills needed in today’s workplace. This session will help you: Explain the purpose and value of micro-credentials.
