What is ‘labour of love’? What drives us to accept jobs that forgo adequate monetary compensation for the work we do, only to be ‘paid’ in exposure, experience, or emotional fulfilment? This issue focuses on labour and labourers of love; those whose jobs require the practice of care and compassion, those working fields that demand employing a repertoire of feelings, as well as those whose passion is also their job. Acknowledging the juxtaposition of the phrase, it tries to respond to both ends of the spectrum; what’s the love in labour and what’s the labour in love? The question has resulted in interesting reflections on care and love.
