Theories and Realities of Care: Who Cares

Short description:

This phd course aims to bridge contemporary theorizing on care with more empirically grounded research in relation to some of the current changes and ambiguities in the development of care, the work-family-care relations, new forms of governance (marketization, personalization, de-professionalization), as well as struggles about recognition of care. The impact of globalisation in a European context on care, its provision and the various state strategies towards migration of carers will also be discussed.

Lecturers: Barbara Haas (Vienna University of Economics and Business) Helma Lutz (University of Frankfurt) Marta Szebehely (Stockholm University) Thomas P. Boje (Roskilde University) Hanne Marlene Dahl (Roskilde University)

Aim of the course:

This phd course aims to bridge contemporary theorizing on care with more empirically grounded research in relation to some of the current changes and ambiguities in the development of care,  the work-family-care relations, new forms of governance (marketization, personalization, de-professionalization), as well as struggles about recognition of care. The impact of globalisation in a European context on care, its provision and the various state strategies towards migration of carers will also be discussed. Core themes will be the importance of different policy regimes, new forms of governance and the migration of carers. Often research on care is split functionally into different fields which hinders an understanding of the similarities and differences in different policy fields. Here the complexity of care will be illustrated by the various keynotes in an interdisciplinary field with a focus on different kinds of care.
