We offer our congratulations on the grant!
The CareOrg project’s aim is to study the specific infrastructure of the migration of care in the transnational context of the receiving and sending countries within the Central and Eastern Europe. The team is comprised as an interdisciplinary consortium of midcareer and junior scholars from Germany, Czechia, Hungary, Holland, Romania, and the Ukraine. The team of the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology will be focusing on the ethnographic research of political mobilization, the ways of the professionalization of caregivers and on describing the practice of informal care in the shared Czech-Slovak infrastructure of the migration of care; under the leadership of Dr. Petra Ezzeddine.
