The Hub's Professor Mary Daly and Green Templeton College invite you to a hybrid talk in the ongoing Conversation on Care series:
Unpaid care in the social care system: Recalibration or reconceptualization?
Wednesday 30 October 2024, 18.00-19.30 GMT, Green Templeton College lecture theatre and on Zoom
The speaker will be Professor Liz Lloyd, Honorary Senior Research Fellow, School for Policy Studies, University of Bristol. The talk will be chaired by Professor Daly, Governing Body Fellow, Green Templeton College and Professor of Sociology and Social Policy at the Department of Social Policy and Intervention, University of Oxford.
Calls to recalibrate the balance between paid and unpaid care have been evident since the 1990s. In the intervening years, the balance has shifted consistently in the opposite direction to that demanded by early commentators, leading to grossly exploitative and unsatisfactory conditions of care. In this unpromising context what potential exists for the development of equitable and effective relations between paid and unpaid care?
This question will be explored by Professor Lloyd, who will discuss contemporary ideas that challenge the damaging legacy of policies and practices and suggest ways in which unpaid care might be reconceptualised as part of the social care system.
The in-person talk will be followed by a short drinks reception.
