What are the implications of caring about the things we research?
How does that affect how we research, who we research with and what
we do with our results? Proposing what Joan C. Tronto has called a
'paradigm shift' in research thinking, this book invites
researchers across disciplines and fields of study to do research
that thinks and acts with care. The authors draw on their own and
others' experiences of researching, the troubles they encounter and
the opportunities generated when research is approached as a caring
practice. Care ethics provides a guide, from starting out,
designing and conducting projects to thinking about research
legacies. It offers a way in which research can help repair harms
and promote justice.

Life at Home for People with a Dementia provides an evidence-based
and readable account of improving life at home for people with a
dementia and their families. There are estimated to be 47 million
people with a dementia worldwide, the majority of whom will live,
or want to live, in their own home. Yet there is a major
shortcoming in available knowledge on what life is like for people
with a dementia living at home. Most research focuses on care in
hospitals or care homes, and takes a medical perspective. This book
bridges this gap in knowledge by providing a comprehensive and
critical overview of the best available evidence on enabling people
with a dementia to live well at home from the viewpoint of those
living with the condition, and in the context of global policy
drivers on ageing and health, as well as technological advances.
The book includes chapters on citizenships - that is, the diversity
of people living with a dementia - enabling life at home,
rethinking self-management, the ethics and care of people with a
dementia at home, technological care and citizenship, and sharing
responsibilities. It concludes with a care manifesto in which we
set out a vision for improving life at home for people with a
dementia that covers the areas of professional practice, education
and care research. By covering a wide range of interrelated topics
to advance understanding and practice as to how people with a
dementia from diverse backgrounds can be supported to live well at
home, this book provides a synthesised, critical and readable
understanding of the complexities and risks involved.
Over the last 20 years there has been a flourishing of work on
feminist care ethics. This collection makes a unique contribution
to this body of work. The international contributors demonstrate

across diverse geographical, policy and interpersonal contexts.
From Tronto's analysis of global responsibilities, to Fudge
Schormans' re-imagining of care from the perspective of people with
learning disabilities, chapters highlight the necessity of thinking
about the ethics of care to achieve justice and well-being within
policies and practice. This book will be essential reading for all
those seeking such outcomes.
A unique contribution to research on feminist care ethics. Drawing
on a wealth of practical experience across eight different
disciplinary fields, the international contributors demonstrate the
significance of care ethics as a transformative way of thinking and
highlight the necessity of thinking about the ethics of care within
policies and practice.

This indispensable textbook explores the ethics of issues from the
interpersonal to the political. Expanding on the traditional
approach, the editors bring together a range of new perspectives on
ethics that reflect the real life experiences and interests of
those who work in health and care. Rather than describing abstract
ideas and applying them to situations, this authoritative new book
uses the everyday situations that occur in health and care as its
starting point to examine how we can use our understanding of the
moral implications of these to improve practice, relationships and
decisions making.
