The primary focus of this workshop is the feeding back of insights learned from the pandemic to develop and promote sustainable research and teaching practices. This is a collaborative praxis, and draws on scholar’s own critical theorizing to (re)imagine the classrooms in which we teach. Foregrounding solidarity and care offer a rich interdisciplinary inroad, as matters of care and crisis are relevant to researchers and practitioners working across the sciences, engaged in matters of policy, and collaborating in community and activist initiatives. The workshop will support the development of a postgraduate summer school to work with students to theorise care and the research methods needed to address it across affective, social, and infrastructural ecologies. We do so to collaboratively address how global health crises provide a basis for political and ethical imagination and methodological innovation; in so doing, we position care and ethics as integral features of an emergent research agenda and methodology.
