WUN project: Sustainable Care - Connecting people and systems

How can we make 21st century systems of care sustainable? and how can citizens be empowered to have more control over how care resources are accessed and care costs distributed?

Sustainable care demonstrated within a care home

This research project's aim is to analyse and compare various developments surrounding sustainable care in a world of increasing population mobility and ageing and rising social inequalities.

Sue is Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociological Studies and Director of CIRCLE, the Centre for International Research on Care Labour and Equalities, a Faculty of Social Sciences research centre at Â鶹ֱ²¥app. She is the academic lead for this project, which also involves over 15 international universities.
