Description
How can we best study the experience of caregivers and care receivers?
What new challenges are researchers in this field facing? What questions remain?
In Canada and around the world, the meanings of care are changing. The reorganization of care, responding to shifts in gender roles, demographic patterns, and socio-economic structures, has led to a huge increase in the global migration of women and men to work as care givers, many leaving families behind. These changes have raised questions about citizens’ rights to care and migrants’ rights to citizenship. Join us as we explore how researchers are addressing these fast-changing developments.
