Webinar: Engaging with a Posthumanist Ethic of Care in Therapeutic Recreation Practice and Pedagogy

Therapeutic Recreation is at the edge of a paradigm shift; and as academic institutions and healthcare more broadly grapple with new ways of knowing, being, and becoming, Therapeutic Recreation is in a prime position to follow suit. By grounding our work and education in a posthumanist ethic of care, we become more aware of the ways that the systems our practices are required to exist within create (un)caring conditions that affect our overall health, wellbeing, and approaches to care, and propose new ways of engaging with care as resistance, and hope for our collective futures. Thus, this presentation seeks to engage with feminist posthuman theory and a critical feminist ethic of care that encourages practitioners and educators to think and do differently to provide beyond-medicalized, more-than-clinical care and caring; both within academic spaces and the spaces where our TR practices are provided and received. Presented by CJ Gargill.
