WGQ "Care" series

What are the multiple genealogies of ‘care’, and how might we approach care as multidirectional? These questions supplement Black feminist thinking, say, or feminist ethics, with new lineages. 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, 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 Emily Dyson (Political Science), Sarah Knott (History), Jane Shaw (Theology) and Freya Willis (History).
