OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
This ‘conversation’ addresses a fundamental problem in the developed world – the ambivalence about care work among those who need it, pay for it, organise it and do it.
The presentation will be given by Jill Manthorpe, Professor of Social Work at King’s College London and Director of the Social Care Workforce Research Unit at King’s College London, a Department of Health Policy Research Unit. She has undertaken multiple care-related studies investigating new roles, issues relating to demand and supply, and policy initiatives and will draw on this in her seminar.
Professor Manthorpe’s presentation will consider a range of aspects of the contemporary problematisation of quality in home care, pointing out echoes of debates about the servant problem for the upper and middle classes a century ago and will be followed by an open discussion.
