Welcome to a new mini-series from the CARE MATTERS podcast!
In this introductory episode of the Care Matters podcast mini-series, How Language Matters, researchers Professor Majella Kilkey and Jayanthi Lingham explore the powerful role of language in care research, communication, and practice. Drawing from their work on the Borders in Care project, they reflect on how terms like “unpaid carer” or “informal care” may reflect—or obscure—people’s lived experiences.
They look at the key questions and themes which will frame the mini-series, such as:
- Is focusing on language a distraction from addressing systemic issues like underfunding and inequality?
- How language can draw attention to invisible forms of labour and care.
- The impact of words like “dependency” in framing people as passive rather than interdependent.
- How complex or shifting language within the care system can act as a barrier to services.
The episode, shaped through collaboration with the Centre for Care Voice Forum, sets the stage for further conversations in the series that challenge how we talk about care—and why that matters.
