Catania, Roger P. – AASA Journal of Scholarship & Practice, 2021

Yoonjeon Kim; Lea J. E. Austin; Hopeton Hess – Center for the Study of Child Care Employment, 2024

The persistent undervaluation of the ECE sector and the labor provided by the nearly all-female workforce can be traced back to its racist roots, when enslaved Black…
