Professionals in care and welfare are frequently confronted in their practice with ethical issues and dilemmas around equitable access and distribution of care, and safeguarding quality of life, meaning, autonomy and human dignity. The COVID-19 crisis makes this particularly clear, but globalisation, migration and cultural diversity, austerity, socialisation of care, financialisation, etc. also confront professionals and policymakers with many new questions and challenges. In this course, we aim to make students critically reflect on ethical dimensions of care and inclusion using recent theoretical (different approaches and concepts) and methodological tools.
