Ai-jen Poo is a activist, organizer, and movement-builder for social change whose compelling vision of the value of home-based care work is transforming the landscape of working conditions and labor standards for millions of domestic workers – housekeepers, nannies, caregivers for the elderly or disabled – in the United States today who are excluded from most federal and state laws. Combining a deep understanding of the complex tangle of human relations around domestic work with keen strategic skills, Ai-jen Poo has created a vibrant worker-led movement and spearheaded successful legislative campaigns. Ai-jen Poo’s visit to Georgia Tech is supported by the College of Architecture, the College of Computing, the Ivan Allen College of Liberal Arts, Office of Undergraduate Education, Computing for Good, and “Serve Learn Sustain”, Georgia Tech’s new initiative for community engagement and sustainability.
