Seminar Series:
The CareVisions Seminar Series is one of the ways in which we seek to build a collaborative, interdisciplinary network of researchers and practitioners interested in the future of care relations in Ireland and beyond. We host regular seminars with thinkers and practitioners who share insights into knowledge, theories and public policy debates about the ethics and practice of care in Ireland and internationally. Seminars are advertised in advance and open to all interested. Recordings and other materials from seminars are available below.
