Abstract
Globally, migrant care workers are a devalued workforce. Long before the pandemic, migrant rights and care shortages were major concerns for feminist adult education scholars, who advocate for critical hope and transformative imaginations. As communication shifts online, physical encounters dwindle while digital solidarities thrive. This paper examines Singapore's live-in migrant care workers and an online Facebook support group that asserts members' rights to receive, not simply provide, care. For my migrant worker activist participants, care and digital activism are mutually interactive processes challenging Singapore's dominant market mentality in family care practices. Power asymmetries often prevent migrant worker activists - disparagingly called "maids" in the local parlance - from mobilizing their transformative feminist imaginations into policy change. My findings reveal how these workers navigate structurally oppressive employment circumstances while building digital solidarity networks. I call for a reciprocal approach to reconfiguring care ethics that centers migrant perspectives. I invite colleagues to join in storytelling about resilient groups embracing critical hope's imaginative power to rewrite public knowledge's status quo.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
