The Design of Care

This edited volume explores notions of care that are overlooked or neglected for one reason or another, featuring projects that examine the most common notions of care – mostly health and social care – in a new light.

This edited volume explores notions of care that are overlooked or neglected for one reason or another, featuring projects that examine the most common forms of care – mostly health and social care – in a new light.

Chapters cover new ground – from overlooked histories of care to caring for the future, from economies and the commodification of care to equitable care, from anarchic care to the choreography of care, from proposing a policy for empathy to questioning whether design really needs empathy at all, and much more. The book shows that design is well-situated to bring forward, in theory and in practice, a care of the possible in view of what can be prevented and, in the same gesture, of what can be invented about the future of care.

The book will be of interest to scholars working in product design, service design, information design, sustainable design, and user-centred/user-experience design.
