Health geographies III – Landscapes of care

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: In this third report, I focus on the concept of ‘landscapes of care’ in health geography. I explore three interrelated areas of recent work: landscapes of inequities and slow violence; landscapes of care as more than clinical, and more expansive ways to think about landscapes of care. All raise interesting questions about defining and understanding different kinds of care, complexities of familiar and new landscapes, the transformative potential of care, and the fraught and non-innocent politics of care. I argue that we still need to pay more attention to interdependence and experiences of receiving as well as giving care.
