In this last episode on this year’s theme, "Care for the Future," Tamir Williams speaks with Rachel Kauder Nalebuff about her genre-bending book Stages: On dying, working, and feeling. Kauder discusses her experience as an artist-in-residence at an elder care facility in the Bronx, NYC; the lessons she learned from staff members at the nursing home about dying, grief, time, and caregiving; and her expansive dreams for what end of life carework systems could look like in the future.

You can purchase Stages directly from Thick Press. And you can pre-order her forthcoming Our Red Book.

A recording of the theatrical production that Nalebuff created with staff members at the elder care facility is available. 

Episode produced by Tamir Williams.
