Abstract

My contribution will speak to the role that hosting-at-home and humanitarian hospitality plays in this current humanitarian crisis. Drawing on feminist research on the home and homemaking, as well as my recent co-authored book on this topic, I will speak to how women's labours of hosting and hospitality are increasingly being relied upon as a response to mass displacement whilst at the same time being, like so much of care work, an overlooked and underappreciated form of everyday humanitarianism.
