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.

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

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.
