This workshop will bring together scholars to discuss the intersectional dimensions of ageing and care work, particularly within the Southeast European context. We will begin with a panel discussion that examines the social, political, and financial aspects of ageing and care work through critical ethnographic and intersectional research. Following this, we invite you to a documentary screening that highlights the personal and ethical dilemmas faced by a female caregiver balancing her responsibilities and choices follwed by a discussion.
