Date

Sept 24, 2026

6:30 pm – 8:00 pm

Admission

General Admission: $15.00
Members: $10.00

Join one of the Nordic's sharpest and most widely read young voices out for a talk on the true cost of care work.

For centuries this has been written off as “women's work”: essential, invisible, and unpaid. Danish writer and feminist economist Emma Holten exposes a fundamental flaw in our value and economic systems, designed centuries ago to overlook care work.

What is caregiving really worth in the "happiest countries on earth", and worldwide?

Holten’s international bestseller Deficit: The Hidden Value of Care reveals how the economic models that drive political decisions today are just as flawed, giving us unparalleled monetary wealth, but causing deep social harms.

The talk is followed by audience Q&A.
