Care is a skill. Home is a skill.
Home Economics for the life you actually live.
I’m Danita Platt, a public home economist and founder of The Home Economics Project. This is the professional home for my teaching, research, publishing, resources, and professional practice.
The Home Economics Project is a small, founder-led educational organization focused on Home Economics.
It brings together education, research, publishing, practical resources, and public teaching in Home Economics, with a focus on the knowledge and skills of everyday life.
