Parole di cura: 𝗽𝗮𝘇𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘇𝗮.
Dal latino patiens, "che sopporta”.

Per le persone che stiamo intervistando, la pazienza è il tempo che diamo agli altri ed essere pazienti non significa essere forti sempre: significa restare presenti, anche quando manca la forza.

When people learn with ChatGPT instead of following their own searches, they end up knowing less, caring less, and producing worse advice, even when the facts are the same.

Friction is an essential ingredient for learning! Convenience makes us shallow.

We're looking for an excellent writer/editor with strong data journalism skills to join the religion team at @pewresearch.org.

pewtrusts.wd5.myworkdayjobs.com/en-US/Center...
The writer/editor is a position within the Center’s Religion research team, which seeks to promote a deeper understanding of religion and spirituality. The Religion research team conducts surveys, demographic analyses and other social science research in the United States and around the world, studying people’s religious beliefs and practices as well as their views on related issues, including religion’s role in public life. The ideal candidate will have a strong data journalism mindset, with the ability to translate complex quantitative findings into clear and engaging narratives that are nonpartisan and non-advocacy. This position will be embedded within the Religion research team, where the writer/editor will work collaboratively to shape the team’s research agenda, including identifying key research questions; contributing to survey development; and synthesizing findings into accessible and compelling storylines. The writer/editor will also evaluate drafts of research reports to determine whether there are shortcomings in the analysis; edit, rewrite and reorganize drafts as necessary to improve flow and clarity; and work with researchers and designers to create appropriate charts and tables. In addition, the writer/editor will provide guidance and training to the Religion team’s researchers and serve as a writing resource. Following the release of reports, the writer/editor may help disseminate research to the public through the Center’s social media channels, videos, newsletters, and virtual or in-person gatherings, always adhering to the Center’s independent, nonpartisan, non-advocacy stance.

Storie di Vita e di Cura è un progetto che mira a dare voce e volto alle biografie di chi dà cura a familiari o amici anziani.

Un ruolo sociale spesso dimenticato nel discorso pubblico e nelle politiche del Paese (la nuova legge finanziaria non farà eccezione)

Dal dialogo è emersa l’importanza di considerare la cura come una responsabilità collettiva e multidimensionale.

Un ringraziamento a chi ha reso possibile questo confronto, che ha arricchito la riflessione sull’invecchiamento e sul futuro delle politiche di cura. 🌍

Alla prossima!
