Over the last 50 years, we’ve invented a plethora of roles, shifting care from the informal to the formal arena, and instituting a flurry of training programs, credentials, codes of conduct, management systems, and top-down accountabilities. But, who and what do all of these jobs really serve?You’re invited to join a conversation about the formal and informal roles of the future. If we want to confront systems of oppression, and move towards good lives and just systems, what might that mean for how we conceptualize relationships, responsibilities and accountabilities?
