Abstract

The goal of this workshop is to bring together CSCW audiences who engage in studies and interventions related to care work. Our aims are to understand how care has been conceptualized in the extant CSCW community, identify core issues and concerns, and formalize how CSCW concepts could be used as a lens to inquire into this domain. We will explore the following themes: the invisibility of care work; the evolution of care labor; how care can often be sentimentalized, formalized, or infantilizing; and how we can attend to-and design for-the multiple experiences of care. Participants of this workshop will be invited to participate in future journal special issues and external grant writing activities.
