Our final #TCC2025 keynote, delivered by Prof. Håkan Jönson and Prof. Tove Harnett, guides us to escape “cognitive traps” and rethink how we view older people and their rights through a “disability lens”. They frame older care receivers as rights-holders, not just collaborators in care systems.
Enjoying the Digital technology and care: resources, rights and risks panel @tcaren.bsky.social
We’re starting the final day of #TCC2025 with 9 panels and 43 presentations on the dark side of care, inequalities, life-course analysis, participatory rights, care responsibilities, Global South perspectives, digital technology, and gender and new care futures. A powerful closing day ahead!
Day 2 at #tcc2025 💡 Care is never neutral — it’s relational, emotional, political.
Tom Shakespeare: rights aren’t enough. Care is mutual & affective.
Innovation = cuts?
Integration = bureaucracy?
Digital care = still emotional labor?
We need to reimagine care. More thoughts in my LinkedIn.
🔔 New book!
Based on a study covering 15 European countries, our book
analyses the preparedness, structural weaknesses of long-term care homes exacerbated by the crisis and the deficient coordination between the health and caring sectors

"If we really thought disabled people were people, we would organise the world very differently."
#TCC2025
So great to have @tomshakespeare.bsky.social as keynote speaker. He reminds us one key aim as social care researchers: to foster ideas that shift from medical to social models to better understand and shape policies on dependency — through complexity, materiality and relationality.

Great discussions with Annie Dussuet at the Transforming Care Conference in Finland about "autonomy" vs. the "independence" promoted by digital platforms
@tcaren.bsky.social
So interesting to hear about the IPSA project

We kicked off day 2 of #TCC2025 with 10 thematic panels and 50 presentations this morning — covering work, inequalities, family policy, ethics, service pathways, institutional interplays, critical takes on innovation, rights-based approaches to dementia, childcare, and more!
To sum up the first day of #tcc2025.
Care work – whether AI in nursing homes, family caregiving, or emotional labor – needs visibility, support & ethical attention. Not just tech, but real human understanding for those doing this heavy, often unseen work.
