Alessia Cofone is a DPhil student in Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at Pembroke College. Alessia’s research interests include collective care, kinship, social reproduction, and trauma. Her research examines, through the lenses of care ethics and social reproduction feminism, the representation of care in contemporary Japanese literature, focusing on how these narratives both reinforce and challenge normative care relationships, focusing on the assumptions, contradictions, ambiguities, and the potential for abuse contained in care practices.
