Hong Kong 2025 Humanities Conference on The Dialectics of Care

Join the “Hong Kong 2025 Humanities Conference on The Dialectics of Care,” scheduled for August 7-8, 2025 at the Education University of Hong Kong. This conference, part of the "Comparative Cultures of Care" initiative at the EdUHK, aims to advance the robust theorization of care's contradictions during the "Hong Kong 2023 Humanities Conference on Comparative Cultures of Care." By fostering critical dialogue, we seek to explore the nuanced dimensions of care and its implications in our contemporary world. A distinguished group of speakers from the US, UK, Germany, New Zealand, and Hong Kong will present drafts of their original papers, engaging in robust discussions with each other and the audience.

The Conference is anchored on three main themes:
•    Care Aesthetics (How does Art approach Vulnerabilities?)
•    Care Communication (How is Connection made and unmade in the Conflicting Worlds?)
•    Care Education (What is a Pedagogy of Care?) 

Details of the Conference:

Through this conference, we aim to cultivate a close-knit community of scholars dedicated to inspiring new ideas and approaches that advance our understanding of care in its many forms.

We look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event!
