Abstract:
Care prac­tices have sig­nif­i­cant rela­tions to people’s exis­tence and social repro­duc­tion. Care­giv­ing involves a com­plex inter­ac­tion between stake­hold­ers in var­i­ous sce­nar­ios (domes­tic, insti­tu­tion­al, and com­mu­ni­ty-based). Indeed, care is pro­vid­ed through a chang­ing con­stel­la­tion of resources across fam­i­lies, the State, the mar­ket and civ­il soci­ety, all of which com­prise the insti­tu­tion­al struc­ture of social care. Sim­i­lar­ly, care is struc­tured not only by gen­der but also by age, class, and ethnic/national ori­gin. The tra­di­tion­al care options have been between domes­tic care and res­i­den­tial facil­i­ties. Insti­tu­tion­al­iza­tion in a res­i­den­tial care home is an option that is usu­al­ly reserved for wors­en­ing sit­u­a­tions of depen­dence. Age­ing in one’s own home is an aspi­ra­tion, but this often takes place in hous­ing and neigh­bor­hoods that are not adapt­ed to the needs of the age­ing, accel­er­at­ing their vul­ner­a­ble process­es. In addi­tion, ter­ri­to­r­i­al dis­par­i­ties (urban-rur­al areas) also account for inequal­i­ties in the access of care.
Our pan­el is ori­ent­ed towards iden­ti­fy­ing the ele­ments that can give rise to alter­na­tive for­mu­las for social care, which make it pos­si­ble to shift the cen­tral role played by fam­i­lies and women, favor­ing the dig­ni­fi­ca­tion of paid and unpaid care. To under­stand the expe­ri­ences in new care envi­ron­ments that try to fos­ter new forms of artic­u­la­tion between social agents and their care sur­round­ings (cohous­ing, care ecosys­tems, com­mu­ni­ties, etc.). We are inter­est­ed in con­tri­bu­tions that, based on ethno­graph­ic work and the­o­ret­i­cal reflec­tion, ana­lyze inno­v­a­tive for­mu­las in the artic­u­la­tion of long-term care providers, iden­ti­fy­ing their scope and lim­i­ta­tions when sub­vert­ing ter­ri­to­r­i­al, social and gen­der inequalities.

Data, Care and Learning in Datafied Worlds

Pan­el

CfP for a hybrid conference

CfP for a pan­el on “Data, Care and Learn­ing in Datafied Worlds”
4S con­fer­ence in Seat­tle and online
3–7 Sep­tem­ber 2025

The extend­ed dead­line for abstract sub­mis­sions is 2 Feb­ru­ary 2025. Please see below for more infor­ma­tion and get in touch with any ques­tions. Abstracts can be sub­mit­ted here.

Short Abstract:

How do data, care, and learn­ing shape each oth­er? Bring­ing togeth­er empir­i­cal work and the­o­ret­i­cal con­sid­er­a­tions across dis­ci­plines and con­texts, this pan­el aims to think broad­ly about the prac­tices that make up the dynam­ic data-care-learn­ing nexus and the impor­tant ques­tions they raise for STS. 

Long Abstract:

In an era of dig­i­tal trans­for­ma­tion, how do data, care and learn­ing prac­tices mutu­al­ly define each other? 

As social­ly-sit­u­at­ed and the­o­ry-laden phe­nom­e­na, data prac­tices are sub­ject to oper­a­tions of scal­ing and manip­u­la­tion, under­pinned by sys­tems of log­ic and val­ue, and co-pro­duced with cul­tur­al, polit­i­cal, and socioe­co­nom­ic real­i­ties. Data are a prin­ci­pal medi­um through which we come to learn, care, and know about our worlds. 

Fem­i­nist STS has estab­lished the crit­i­cal impor­tance of care for sus­tain­ing our worlds, direct­ing atten­tion toward who cares, about what, and how. Con­tin­u­ing to crit­i­cal­ly the­o­rize and empir­i­cal­ly inves­ti­gate care opens up ques­tions of main­te­nance, vul­ner­a­bil­i­ty and inter­de­pen­dence. Trac­ing data prac­tices with care in mind is like­ly to extend some of these insights and con­test others. 

Learn­ing is the­o­rised dif­fer­ent­ly across fields from STS and Inno­va­tion Stud­ies to Psy­chol­o­gy and Edu­ca­tion. Fun­da­men­tal ques­tions about the nature of learn­ing under­pin assump­tions about knowl­edge, exper­tise, and ped­a­gogy. What we care to learn about and how we learn to care have impli­ca­tions for our under­stand­ing of data prac­tices since those prac­tices both shape what can be learned and must them­selves be learned. 

Organ­ised by the DARE team, this pan­el seeks to build on and con­tribute to these lit­er­a­tures by bring­ing togeth­er work across data tech­nolo­gies, con­texts of use, intel­lec­tu­al fields, and com­mu­ni­ties of prac­tice to exam­ine the data-care-learn­ing nexus. 

Sub­mis­sions might offer insights into, for example: 

– What data, care, and learn­ing come to mean through their mutu­al entanglement 

– Where process­es of learn­ing and car­ing are locat­ed in data practices 

– Dis­tin­guish­ing between car­ing, learn­ing, and know­ing in rela­tion to data practices 

– How data are cared for, and how data enable or con­strain care 

– What and how we learn through data practices 

– How the nexus of data, care and learn­ing are the­o­rised across dif­fer­ent sites, and with dif­fer­ent publics

Short Abstract:

This pan­el explores the ethico-polit­i­cal stakes, expe­ri­ences and pos­si­bil­i­ties of neu­romed­ical sub­jec­tiv­i­ty. We wel­come papers that explore prag­mat­ic chal­lenges and eman­ci­pa­to­ry poten­tials of neu­romed­ical per­son­hood, while the­o­riz­ing with and beyond ‘care.’

Long Abstract:

Neu­romed­ical knowl­edge and tech­nolo­gies are increas­ing­ly reshap­ing our under­stand­ing of human expe­ri­ence, fuel­ing col­lec­tive demands, trans­form­ing notions of per­son­hood, and dri­ving mate­r­i­al, semi­otic, and infra­struc­tur­al changes across soci­eties. While advance­ments in bio­med­ical and psy­cho­log­i­cal sci­ences have opened path­ways for indi­vid­ual and col­lec­tive action, heal­ing, and sup­port, these gains are uneven­ly dis­trib­uted. Stig­ma, insti­tu­tion­al­ized indif­fer­ence, and dis­par­i­ties in health resources per­sist glob­al­ly, threat­en­ing to over­shad­ow poten­tial ben­e­fits. In this com­plex sce­nario, how does engag­ing with neu­romed­ical advance­ments allow for the cre­ation of diverse real­i­ties of care? How do forms of aban­don­ment or sol­i­dar­i­ty shape the social spaces where health, ill­ness, suf­fer­ing, and dis­abil­i­ty are neu­romed­ical­ly configured?

This pan­el exam­ines the ethico-polit­i­cal dimen­sions of neu­romed­ical sub­jec­tiv­i­ty by extend­ing the­o­ries of care (Puig de la Bel­la­casa 2010). Build­ing on stud­ies of the rela­tion­al, eth­i­cal, and polit­i­cal aspects of care, we invite researchers to explore frame­works that chal­lenge and com­ple­ment this notion, inte­grat­ing STS per­spec­tives on the (un)caring dimen­sions of neu­romed­ical knowl­edge and prac­tices with oth­er crit­i­cal lenses—such as “rights,” “sol­i­dar­i­ty,” “aban­don­ment,” and “neglect” — and draw­ing insights from fields like med­ical soci­ol­o­gy, dis­abil­i­ty stud­ies, polit­i­cal phi­los­o­phy, urban stud­ies, posthu­man­ism, crit­i­cal neu­ro­science and others.

Pre­sen­ta­tions may address ques­tions such as: How do care and neglect affect patient out­comes, iden­ti­ty for­ma­tion, and expe­ri­ences of social belong­ing with­in neu­romed­ical con­texts? How do neu­romed­ical approach­es shape prac­tices and modes ofself-know­ing, iden­ti­ty, and rela­tion­al­i­ty across dif­fer­ent social set­tings? How are the infra­struc­tur­al, mate­r­i­al, and semi­otic aspects of our soci­eties shifting—or not—to accom­mo­date diverse neu­romed­ical identities-in-the-making?

Abstract:

The role of hope and desire for life as “prac­ticed” in ther­a­peu­tic set­tings, as fac­tors shap­ing treat­ment even in sit­u­a­tions that seem to only allow for despair, has been wide­ly explored for con­di­tions like can­cer and chron­ic dis­abil­i­ties (e.g. Mat­ting­ly 1998, 2010). This anthro­po­log­i­cal lit­er­a­ture has shown that hope and desire are con­tin­u­ous­ly con­struct­ed and fos­tered through the dis­cours­es and prac­tices of pro­fes­sion­al and fam­i­ly car­ers. Less atten­tion has been giv­en to men­tal health set­tings, where despair is often per­ceived more as part of the con­di­tion being treat­ed and, grad­u­al­ly, of the very per­son who suf­fers, than as a con­se­quence of an ‘exter­nal’ dis­ease. What Mat­ting­ly (2010: 5) calls “a para­dox­i­cal bor­der prac­tice” (hope for a life beyond or notwith­stand­ing ill­ness) is there­fore even more para­dox­i­cal in men­tal health­care, espe­cial­ly for con­di­tions deemed chron­ic. And yet hope has been found to char­ac­terise recov­ery nar­ra­tives, ther­a­peu­tic rela­tion­ships and treat­ment engage­ment (Long­hofer and Flo­er­sch 2010; Mur­phy et al. 2024; Van Don­gen 1998). This pan­el wel­comes sub­mis­sions that, based on ethno­graph­ic research con­duct­ed among patients, health­care pro­fes­sion­als and/or fam­i­ly car­ers in spe­cif­ic strands of men­tal health­care, show how the dis­cur­sive con­struc­tions and enact­ments of hope and desire for life func­tion as ther­a­peu­tic tools or as points of ten­sion in care, illu­mi­nat­ing their trans­for­ma­tive poten­tial but also their lim­i­ta­tions and eth­i­cal complexities.

Shift­ing states and their his­to­ries in insti­tu­tion­al care

The anthro­pol­o­gy of the state has long argued that states do not exist as coher­ent units out there but are artic­u­lat­ed in prac­tices, spaces and effects. One of the key spaces in which states have effects on their cit­i­zens are care insti­tu­tions. They respond to cru­cial needs of humans; for instance as places where sick­ness­es are treat­ed and frail bod­ies are tak­en care of. They can also curate major tran­si­tions such as birth and death. Care insti­tu­tions such as hos­pi­tals or nurs­ing homes are places defined by par­tic­u­lar and per­sis­tent forms of inter­ac­tion. These forms – where and how things are done, when and by whom – have often coag­u­lat­ed over time. They are backed up by legit­i­ma­tions which are not easy to ques­tion, because they are part of oth­er non-tan­gi­ble soci­etal insti­tu­tions, such as gen­dered divi­sion of labour, kin­ship and fam­i­ly ide­olo­gies which are spe­cif­ic to his­tor­i­cal­ly grown care and health regimes. These regimes as part of state gov­er­nance can bear traces of pasts such as colo­nial rule, polit­i­cal regimes shifts or spe­cif­ic biopo­lit­i­cal projects of care and con­trol. Insti­tu­tion­al care can also be pro­vid­ed by non-state actors on behalf of the state includ­ing non-prof­it, reli­gious or char­i­ty organ­i­sa­tions but also com­mer­cial or even cor­po­ra­tized actors. The rea­sons why these actors per­form or have tak­en over these tasks, have again their own his­to­ries often relat­ed to shifts in ways of gov­er­nance of wel­fare state regimes.

This pan­el brings togeth­er papers that explore how shift­ing states and their his­to­ries come back resur­face, or take unex­pect­ed forms with­in the spaces and prac­tices of insti­tu­tion­al care. The papers exam­ine how his­tor­i­cal lega­cies shape and haunt care­giv­ing inter­ac­tions, insti­tu­tion­al rou­tines, and the nar­ra­tives and posi­tion­al­i­ties of those involved in these care set­tings. In ask­ing how these pasts are artic­u­lat­ed, linger on or are rep­re­sent­ed in care insti­tu­tions this pan­el under­stands his­to­ry not as some­thing wait­ing to be dis­cov­ered in the back­ground, but as active­ly brought up, mobi­lized and pre­sent­ed in the field or artic­u­lat­ed by the ethno­g­ra­ph­er. The past then becomes “his­to­ry” through prac­tices of actors in the field or through the ana­lyt­i­cal work of the ethno­g­ra­ph­er who iden­ti­fies his­to­ry as an absent pres­ence in the stud­ied sit­u­a­tion or prac­tice. The paper in this pan­el inter­ro­gate the con­sti­tu­tive moments where his­to­ry appears, or is brought up in insti­tu­tion­al care set­tings, ask­ing, which posi­tion­ings, gen­er­a­tional mem­o­ries and nar­ra­tives become artic­u­lat­ed therein.

The Bur­den of Respon­si­bil­i­ty? Ethics, Pow­er, and Prac­tice in Care Settings

Abstract
Med­ical anthro­pol­o­gists have long inter­ro­gat­ed the mean­ings and prac­tices of care, from inti­mate forms of care­giv­ing to insti­tu­tion­al sys­tems that admin­is­ter and with­hold care (Klein­man 1997; Mol 2008). Like­wise, respon­si­bil­i­ty with­in health set­tings has been exam­ined in terms of blame, account­abil­i­ty, and moral oblig­a­tion (Farmer 2004; Fassin 2012; Demi­an, Fuman­ti, Lyn­teris 2023). How­ev­er, we think that the inter­sec­tion of the­o­ries of care and of respon­si­bil­i­ty could ben­e­fit from fur­ther explo­ration. We begin by ask­ing: What do we mean when we speak of respon­si­bil­i­ty in con­texts of care? We encour­age con­trib­u­tors to crit­i­cal­ly reflect on the speci­fici­ties that the term ‚respon­si­bil­i­ty’ assumes in care set­tings com­pared to oth­er con­texts, as well as on the ambi­gu­i­ties and dif­fi­cul­ties involved in defin­ing what respon­si­bil­i­ty con­sists of in such set­tings. How are prac­tices of care entan­gled with respon­si­bil­i­ties, both assumed and imposed? How do indi­vid­u­als and insti­tu­tions nego­ti­ate the bur­den of care, and who is deemed respon­si­ble when care falls short or results in harm? What hap­pens when respon­si­bil­i­ty is frag­ment­ed or resist­ed, and how are these process­es shaped by pow­er rela­tions, gen­dered expec­ta­tions, and neolib­er­al policies?
This pan­el seeks con­tri­bu­tions that inves­ti­gate the inter­sec­tions of care and respon­si­bil­i­ty in health con­texts glob­al­ly. We invite paper pro­pos­als focus­ing on the intri­cate and often con­test­ed rela­tion­ship between care and respon­si­bil­i­ty with­in (but not lim­it­ed to) health and heal­ing prac­tices. In an era marked by increas­ing­ly com­plex health sys­tems, struc­tur­al inequal­i­ties, and glob­al crises, the ethics and pol­i­tics of care have tak­en on renewed sig­nif­i­cance. At the same time, notions of respon­si­bil­i­ty are being rede­fined, dis­trib­uted, and resist­ed across mul­ti­ple actors, includ­ing patients, fam­i­lies, health­care pro­fes­sion­als, com­mu­ni­ties, and states
We encour­age sub­mis­sions that crit­i­cal­ly exam­ine the ways in which care is both an eth­i­cal prac­tice and a site of pow­er, and how respon­si­bil­i­ty is ascribed, inter­nal­ized, or con­test­ed in dif­fer­ent med­ical and socio-polit­i­cal landscapes.

We wel­come papers engag­ing with, but not lim­it­ed to, the fol­low­ing themes:

- Moral economies of care and the dis­tri­b­u­tion of respon­si­bil­i­ty (Mol 2008; Han 2012);
‑Care work and the bur­dens of respon­si­bil­i­ty with­in fam­i­lies and com­mu­ni­ties (Tick­tin 2011; The­len 2015);
‑Inter­sec­tions between care, respon­si­bil­i­ty and gen­dered expec­ta­tions (Glenn 2012);
