CARE LAB

How do we create care-centred work in productivity-centred systems?

“Care should be viewed as a human activity that includes everything we do to maintain, continue and repair our world so that we can live in it as well as possible” - Joan Tronto. Care is a ‘feeling with’ rather than a ‘feeling for,’ others. Care is not just a feeling; it is action, process, practice, impact. Care is a doing word. Care is complex and surprisingly difficult at times. Care is complicated. It has a definition with connotations of wariness, vigilance and anxiety, and a definition with connotations of love, thoughtfulness and joy. Sometimes it’s hard to untangle the one from the other.
