About this Event


The Fourth Global Carework Summit

Histories and Futures of Care”

5-7 June 2025

Duke University, Durham, North Carolina


The Carework Network is organizing a bilingual (Spanish and English) three-day hybrid conference to bring together carework researchers, scholars, and stakeholders from across the globe.


The Carework Network launched in August 2000 with a one-day conference at Howard University in Washington, D.C., prior to the American Sociological Association meetings. In the quarter century since, many of our motivating questions have continued as both pressing social matters and persistent research interests. Simultaneously, new questions have emerged as the Network has expanded to include a broader range of disciplines, participants, geographic contexts, and research settings.


The Carework Network is taking this opportunity of its 25th anniversary to reflect on the histories and futures of carework research and the study of care more broadly.


The conference will explore how conversations about care have developed during this period and what factors have informed notable inflection points — not only discrete events such as the 2008 financial crisis and the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic but also more sustained dynamics such as environmental crises, pervasive neoliberal policies, the ongoing importance of migrant careworkers, the changing role of technologies and infrastructures, and renewed global reckonings with the effects of racism and colonialism.

CUARTO ENCUENTRO GLOBAL SOBRE TRABAJO DE CUIDADOS

“Historias y futuros del cuidado”

5-7 de Junio, 2025

Universidad de Duke, Durham, Carolina del Norte


La Carework Network está organizando un encuentro bilingüe (español e inglés) de tres días para reunir personas del ámbito de la investigación, la academia y la sociedad civil de diversas partes del mundo.


La Carework Network se lanzó en agosto del año 2000 con una pre-conferencia de un día en la Universidad Howard en Washington, D.C., previo a las reuniones de la Asociación Estadounidense de Sociología. En el cuarto de siglo transcurrido desde entonces, muchas de nuestras preguntas iniciales han seguido siendo asuntos sociales apremiantes. Al mismo tiempo, han surgido nuevas preguntas a medida que la Red se ha expandido para incluir una mayor diversidad de disciplinas, participantes, contextos geográficos y entornos de investigación.

La Carework Network está aprovechando la oportunidad de su vigésimo quinto aniversario para reflexionar sobre las historias y los futuros de la investigación del trabajo de cuidado, así como el estudio de los cuidados en general.


La conferencia explorará cómo las conversaciones sobre el cuidado han evolucionado durante este período y qué factores han dado lugar a puntos de inflexión notables.


Estos no solo incluyen eventos concretos como la crisis financiera de 2008 o la pandemia de COVID-19 en 2020, sino también dinámicas más persistentes a lo largo del tiempo, como la crisis ambiental, las políticas neoliberales generalizadas, la continua importancia de los trabajadores migrantes en el sector del cuidado, el papel cambiante de las tecnologías e infraestructuras, y el renovado reconocimiento de los efectos del racismo y el colonialismo a nivel global.
