Who Cares? Exploring the meanings of care and caring identities
How have meanings of "care" changed and what does this mean for those doing the caring?
Join us to explore how the meanings of "care" have changed and what this means for those doing the caring.
Our speakers will examine care and caring from literary, historical, philosophical, domestic and institutional perspectives.
Dr Dinah Roe will discuss care through the poetry and life of Christina Rossetti; Professor Gary Browning will explore caring through the philosophy of Iris Murdoch and Simone Weil and draw on his work with Samaritans, while Professor Marius Turda will consider how ideas of care have been invoked in the history of eugenics and especially psychiatry.
