On this episode of the Another Way To See It podcast, we talk about the concept of Kinkeeping. Kinkeeping is a term brought into modern consciousness by Sociologist, Caroline Rosenthal in 1985 in an article called "Kinkeeping in the Familial Division of Labor".

”Kinkeepers play an important role in maintaining family cohesion and continuity. Their efforts contribute significantly to the family's social capital, providing emotional support and a sense of belonging to family members.”

Kinkeeping:

· Helps extended family members of stay in touch with one another.

· Facilitates the transfer of family, traditions, values, and histories from one generation to the next.

· Fosters the well-being of the familial unit.

Kinkeeping activities include: writing letters, telephone calls, visiting, sending gifts, caregiving, providing financial help.

Kinkeeping is largely the role of women or the feminine in relationship and is seen as unpaid labor.
