Bernhard Weicht provides a multi-layered analysis of how we understand and construct care in everyday life, the meanings it has for ourselves, our families, our relationships, identities and our sense of society and what is right and proper, making an original contribution to the discussion of the nature of care ethics and its political potential.

Bernhard Weicht is Lecturer at Leiden University College, The Netherlands. Bernhard has researched and published on the construction of care, ideas of dependency, migrant care workers, the intersection of migration and care regimes, and the construction of ageing and older people. He is vice-chair of the European Sociological Association Research Network 'Ageing in Europe'.
