Digital technologies are increasingly entering into diverse spaces of care: from home and health and disability care settings to social services to the management and control of global crises such as COVID-19 and climate change by government and industry bodies. Contributors to this panel explore understandings and sociomaterialities of care as it is conceptualised, carried out, experienced and problematised through emerging automated technologies.
