This session opens up conversations into aspects of the lived experience of unpaid carers and the impact of caregiving on students and staff in higher education. I’ll briefly summarise aspects of the political, educational and personal dimensions that impinge on and position carers. And then foreground questions such as: how can we value and recognise the caring roles of students and staff in HE; and what makes a care-ful education?
