Care and community revalued during the COVID-19 pandemic: A feminist couple perspective.

The COVID-19 pandemic led us to understand and revalue care ethics within our daily lives and communities based on the feminist theory of care ethics. This article is a personal reflection of an academic couple living in Japan as we reflect on our experiences and the challenges encountered in caring for ourselves and our community. We discuss the ideas of care theory mainly: caring-about and caring-for, interchangeably in our discussion across the three-stage categories: Home - A Commonplace; Care Ethics in Community; and Care Ethics for Self.
