Transforming Care
Series Editors: Costanzo Ranci, Polytechnic University of Milan, and Tine Rostgaard, Stockholm University and Roskilde University
As care and care work have been thrust into the international spotlight, the increased need for empirical, theoretical and methodological investigation into social care and care policy and practice has been revealed.
Addressing social care and care policy and practice at an international level, this timely new series provides a crucial platform for scholars researching early childhood care, care for adults with disabilities and long-term care for frail older people. The series will consider four dimensions of social care:
- the institutional setting of care systems and policy;
- care arrangements and practices;
- social and policy innovation for care services and arrangements;
- formal and informal care work.
This series is linked to the Transforming Care Network, which is open for researchers into care.
