Abstract

In this video, Judith McKenzie discusses the importance of listening to the voices of caregivers and how their experiences can influence our understanding of disability and vulnerability. She discusses how care giving and vulnerability are universal experiences for all people. She discusses how family-based care and professional caregivers share certain experiences which can be understood through an approach of Ethics of Care. She talks about the criticality of care as a function of human society; defines care in terms of its functions and roles, and stresses the societal role and importance of care as a valued process.
