Extended Readings

An extended reading list for those who want to delve further into the literature on care before or after our discussions, organised according to our weekly themes. Work on care is rich and emerging so the references below are by no means exhaustive. Our intention is for this to be an ever-evolving resource, so if there are any texts or non-textual pieces that you think should be there, email us to let us know.
