Concerned geographer at UNC-Chapel Hill focusing on caregiving and ethics. My views are most certainly my own.

Leaving my voluntary twitter hiatus to draw attention to #iycc2021. Four days of global conversation with and for young carers! https://t.co/DpVzKMH9nm

3rd International conference on young carers starts today at 1pm. Yes, it’s a bank holiday in the UK, but not in the rest of the world! Enjoy! #iycc2021 #youngcarers

[Elizabeth Olson @BetsyThinking]

Grateful to be learning about identifying young carers in Sweden, Finland, UK and Japan. #iycc2021

Life has put a serious cramp on my twitter presence, but I'm back to ask former students to help me advertise my Geographies of Religion class. I can only teach it every other year, and it is an amazing experience every time I do. @geographyunc

[Elizabeth Olson @BetsyThinking]

In case you missed it, be sure to check out UNC's #TwitterTakeover yesterday highlighting #DecolonizeUNC. Important enough for me to log back into 'the twitter'...Many thanks @ListerMajerle

[geography unc @geographyunc]

Ethics of care, youth, and racial geopolitics in the US at the turn of the 20th century, viewed through an unexpected story of women in public health. It's my attempt to historicize discussions of young carers and challenge our time/space framings: https://t.co/WCUnwBIHNb

This must be not only discussed, but acted upon. And it should be up to those of us in secure positions and with all the privileges we are afforded to shoulder this burden.

(1). On #CaregiverDay I want to share some facts on #youngcarers from my research over the years. 1. In Canada, 15-24year olds represent the 3rd largest caregiver cohort (1.25 million). Factoring in all those ch/youth >15 yrs of age, the figure is likely closer to 2 million.
