A net that adapts to the fruit it holds — not the other way around. That's the idea behind our conference logo: a social safety net that removes barriers by adapting to the person, not the other way around. #TransformingCare #TCC2027 #Taipei

Our final #TCC2025 keynote, delivered by Prof. Håkan Jönson and Prof. Tove Harnett, guides us to escape “cognitive traps” and rethink how we view older people and their rights through a “disability lens”. They frame older care receivers as rights-holders, not just collaborators in care systems.

Day 2 at #tcc2025 💡 Care is never neutral — it’s relational, emotional, political. Tom Shakespeare: rights aren’t enough. Care is mutual & affective. Innovation = cuts? Integration = bureaucracy? Digital care = still emotional labor? We need to reimagine care. More thoughts in my LinkedIn.

So great to have @tomshakespeare.bsky.social as keynote speaker. He reminds us one key aim as social care researchers: to foster ideas that shift from medical to social models to better understand and shape policies on dependency — through complexity, materiality and relationality. #TCC2025

To sum up the first day of #tcc2025. Care work – whether AI in nursing homes, family caregiving, or emotional labor – needs visibility, support & ethical attention. Not just tech, but real human understanding for those doing this heavy, often unseen work.

Prof. @margaleon.bsky.social opens with her keynote “Children’s Rights and Welfare Paradigms?” She highlights progress in childcare policy, but it’s an unfinished agenda. We need to ensure universal rights, tackle inequalities, and treat children’s rights as democratic entitlements. #TCC2025
