ECM Conversation Circle: Why do we expect parents to do it all alone?
Parenting shouldn’t be a private struggle. Join leading voices from academia, psychology, and philanthropy—Alicia Lieberman, Alison Gopnik, and Karima Grant—moderated by Elissa Strauss—to explore how we can rebuild strong care communities, what’s working already, and what still holds us back.
Somewhere along the way, parenting became a private struggle — a responsibility parents and other caregivers, mostly women, were expected to shoulder on their own. But it doesn’t have to be this way, as countless initiatives and leaders are showing. This conversation brings together leading thinkers and changemakers from academia, psychology and philanthropy — Alicia Lieberman, Alison Gopnik, Karima Grant, and moderated by Elissa Strauss — each shaping how we understand and support parents and other caregivers. What would it look like to rebuild strong care communities — and what’s holding us back?
