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!

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.

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!

Beautiful to gather under the roof of the charming and historic Helsinki City Hall for a warm and well-deserved reception — a moment of pause after all the hard work by attendees.

Thank you to everyone — municipality, staff and volunteers — who make events like this possible.

Prof. @margaleon.bsky.social opens with her keynote “Children’s Rights and Welfare Paradigms?”

She highlights progress in childcare policy, but it’s an unfinished agenda. We need to ensure universal rights, tackle inequalities, and treat children’s rights as democratic entitlements.
