During the workshop Care as Method which took place online on November 27th 2020, participants were invited to discuss the theoretical and practical implications, as well as the risks and possibilities, of approaching care as method. Drawing on methodologies and epistemologies distinctive of feminist research, the workshop focused on care in research practices and research institutions. It was aimed at being a space of self-reflection about positionality and about how care can be perceived as a methodological tool, or posture, to advance ethical research.
Prior to the workshop we invited participants to share a piece of work connected to the topic Care as Method; in the form of a short essay, a poem, an image, collage, and other. Some of these contributions are collected here under the next section. Thank you to all the contributors!
