[News] Conference "Geographies of alternative care" 26 & 27 of November, online

[Sil Woj]

Dear all,


We’re happy to announce that the speakers lineup for the Geographies of
Alternative Care international conference
<https://wp.unil.ch/geographiesofcare/> (November 26 and 27) is available
online and registration is open until November 22.


The COVID-19 pandemic has made legible stark inequalities in the global
distribution of care. Building on feminist, queer anti-racist perspectives,
the conference Geographies of Alternative Care: Spaces, Ecologies, and
Methods (November 26-27th 2020) opens an interdisciplinary conversation on
three key dimensions of caring: caring *for* and *through* spaces; caring
*across *species and scales; caring as a research method. This event brings
together a diverse range of voices from academia and activism to explore
this urgent topic. Please check the schedule here:

Registration is required in order to receive a link to the program:

in Gender Studies at the University of Lausanne (PlaGE
