The conference, now in its third edition, builds on the critical legacies of Karl Polanyi and György Lukács, whose work continues to shape analyses of capitalism, social protection, and class formation in Eastern and Central Europe. Against the backdrop of rising inequalities, illiberalism, and right-wing populism, the conference provided an important space for critical debate and exchange.
CareOrg team members Noémi Katona (Corvinus University of Budapest) and Dóra Gábriel (HUN-REN Centre for Social Sciences) contributed to Panel 26: “Social reproduction in neoliberal times: welfare states, health and the family in Eastern Europe.”
Their presentation was titled: “The Political-Economic Construction of Low Professional Standards in Home-based Senior Care in Hungary.” The panel was moderated by Camil Pârvu (University of Bucharest).
