“…This crisis operates at a number of levels, from an existential sense of our common bodily vulnerability and need for care, to the unequal health impacts of the virus on care workers and key workers, especially poorly paid 'frontline' staff as well as those living in 'care homes'. Overall many of our existing 'infrastructures of care' (Alam & Houston, 2020) have crumbled away during the pandemic, or shown themselves to be inadequate. As noted at the outset, populations have been increasingly confined to the space of the home and this has particular implications for a crisis of care since the home is so often figured as a place of care and security.…”

“…Of relevance to such infrastructuring work in participatory design, is also work that conceptualizes care and caring relationships as infrastructure. In the work of Alam and Houston (Alam and Houston 2020), the authors draw insights from feminist care ethics to explore the relations between care and infrastructure, and through an analysis of non-institutional care spaces, they contribute infrastructural conditions for inclusive cities. The work contributes a framework of "care collectives" that remain flexible to accommodate various caring conditions, independent from the caring abilities or inabilities of the caregiver and care receivers.…”

“…Yet, mobility is vital to social reproduction. Mobilities scholars have challenged the binary opposing mobility and family by, for example, demonstrating the variety of ways in which families are constituted on the move and at a distance (Burrell 2016;Carsten 2020;Schurr 2019;Speier 2020) and by theorizing the co-constitution of care, mobility, and gender (Alam and Houston 2020;Cresswell and Uteng 2008;Pojani Sagaris and Papa 2021). Like other forms of social reproduction, care, this work shows, is 'inherently bound up with notions of place, mobility, and immobility' (Plyushteva and Schwanen 2018, 132).…”
