What does “care” mean, and how is it understood across different areas of society?
Drawing on perspectives from education, health, disability, ageing, social work, business, policy, community, and beyond, this symposium creates space for dialogue across disciplines and professions. Together, we will consider care as an ethical, relational, social, political, and lived practice - and examine when care supports inclusion and wellbeing, and when it can become exclusionary.
Whether you work in research, policy, practice, community, or industry, join us to share perspectives, challenge assumptions, and imagine new possibilities for more inclusive and caring institutions, communities, and futures.
