“The dialogues go beyond the actual ‘practice dialogues,’ also co-creating an exchange between scholarship cited and the different ecosystems where each care worker navigates, many times counter-current, and pushes the limits of what is possible within the imposed status quo.”

“Practice Dialogues is as lively and dynamic as the book is intentional and grounded. It embodies the future of education and eloquently highlights the need for coalition building that respects and centers the power of intimacy. Professor Lesnick skillfully weaves the rich dialogue between herself and other care workers painting a soulful and complex depiction of what it means to be a care worker during turbulent times. The beauty of this collection is that it does not end, but instead builds momentum.”

“This book's title, Practice Dialogues, is at once descriptive and imperative: it references the dialogues authored by care-work practitioners, and it calls readers to practice their own such dialogues. Full of fresh voices and insights, these chapters assemble the wide-ranging wisdoms of care workers at various stages of development, modeling both engagement in and discernment of what care work can encompass and inspire.”
