In our opening event focusing on Cultures of Care in Higher Education – held on June 11th, 2021 – we asked “How do we care at work?”Our invited contributors responded to this question through a variety of lenses and from differing positions; however, some key unifying themes emerged. Amongst these was the importance of unknowing, ambivalence, vulnerability, trust, and unlearning. Going forwards we’d like to explore these further, both within and beyond the context of Higher Education.
Our second seminar, held on Friday 21st January, 2022, took on this challenge under the umbrella title of “Tolerating Uncertainty”. We were delighted to welcome a group of wonderful speakers from quite different disciplinary backgrounds, who share interests in this compelling human theme.
