What is “care” good for, and how best to apprehend it as a scholarly category? The “Care” Series gathers scholars of any discipline who are interested in reading and thinking about “care” together. Each session, we gather to discuss a short reading with the help of a local expert.
In meeting under the auspices of WGQ (the Centre for Women’s, Gender, and Queer Histories), we recognize the centrality of feminists to care thinking since the 1980s, the importance of care practices to queer and otherwise marginalized communities, the historicity of when different disciplines invested in the category, and the importance of multidisciplinary and inclusive approaches as we now proceed.
_The Care Series is convened by Sarah Knott (History, St John’s College) and Lucile Richard (Political Theory, Nuffield)._
