Potentialities of Care in Dementia Worlds

Join us for a thought-provoking exploration of care, potentiality, and the world within the context of dementia. 🌍✨ In the spirit of Fischer and Tronto’s definition, care encompasses everything we do to maintain our world for better living. But how does it change when facing dementia?

Key Questions Explored:

• What unique types of care emerge when our worlds begin to shift?
• How do creativity and world-building play a role in navigating life with dementia?
• What are the connections between worldhood and personhood?
• How do corporeal and cognitive differences shape the world experiences of those living with dementia?
• What is the impact of normality and its interruptions in these worlds?
• How do other-than-human elements influence these experiences?
