British Sociological Association Care and Social Reportudction Study Group
The group is co-convened by Dr Ania Plomien (LSE), Dr Sara Farris (Goldsmiths) and Dr Maud Perrier (University of Bristol).
The number of studies on social reproduction and care has grown exponentially in the last few years. From analyses of the labour conditions of care workers, explorations of the proximity of spaces of production and social reproduction, to discussions of the complex affects entailed in care and visions of care societies as necessary utopias, these concepts and the theories they inform, are increasingly animating the sociological imagination.
The group brings together scholars who work at the intersections of these debates in order to deepen our understanding of care and social reproduction and engage in a range of activities to highlight the wealth of sociological research on these topics and its importance in shaping and informing public debates.
