Care and Preparedness in the Network Society

The interconnected nature of environmental and climatic crises and those of welfare systems means that care (or the lack of care) is a key issue, one that is currently ignored by technological societies. CareNet focuses on this issue and critically explores how care can be transformed and what would be the consequences. We examine how technological innovations and expert knowledge reshape care, the impact on carers and those cared for, and emerging, community-based ways of rethinking crises and forms of care. We are interested in developing interdisciplinary training in social studies of science and technology, social psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and social education. We also take an open, blended approach to exploring methodology, with a particular interest in qualitative and participative methodologies.
