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
The Nordic welfare states are often seen as caring states with generous, universal care services for pre-school, elderly, challenged and sick persons. Neoliberal governance has turned these caring states into postmodern, cold care regimes reframing care and silencing aspects of care. To understand this development, we need to elaborate a broader concept of a care crisis that can be applied beyond its original definition. A reconceptualisation that views a care crisis along two dimensions: a quantitative and a qualitative dimension, that of ‘good-enough’ care.
