We are looking forward to theoretical-conceptual and/or empirical contributions from different disciplines and research fields (social and political sciences, anthropology, critical geography, gender geography, gender studies, racism and migration studies, queer and trans studies, etc.), which deal with the linking of social reproduction, care and social movement research. In addition to contributions that relate to the German-speaking context, we particularly welcome submissions that are interdisciplinary. particularly welcome submissions that focus on inter- or transnational perspectives. One or one or more of the following questions could be at the centre: - What is the significance of care within social movements, i.e. as a practice for their reproduction, as an element of organising? reproduction, as an element of organising and alliance work? - What strategies do social movements develop to push through care-related demands? demands? (Including strikes and other forms of labour struggles, direct actions, occupations, petitions, media work). What forms of strategic, organisational or institutional power do the initiatives have? What social, political or legal or legal means are used? - What are successful, what are promising, what are failed or doomed-to-fail strategies and movement approaches? strategies and movement approaches? In which areas, sectors and local contexts were/are social were/are social care movements successful(er), in which ones not? What are the reasons for this? - Which appropriations of care movements and struggles can be identified historically and currently? and at present? How do movements respond to this? - What are the lines of connection and possibly also the points of friction between different strategies and movements in the fields of care and social reproduction? reproduction? - Which conceptual differentiations between care and social reproduction are necessary for an analysis of social struggles? necessary or obstructive for an analysis of social struggles? - Which research methods and attitudes are used in movement-oriented care and social reproduction research? research (e.g. participatory and activist research)? What are their potentials and limits? The workshop will take place on 23/24 May 2024 at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena. Travel and travel and accommodation costs will be covered.
