" with Moderator Dr. Shi Yiwen, Lecturer in Social Work, Shanghai University of Political Science and Law.

Summary:  The exponential growth of the older population on a global scale, coupled with their escalating demand for care, has significantly exacerbated the existing shortage of qualified caregivers. This webinar explores innovative, ethical, and culturally sensitive approaches aimed at improving care quality and supporting older adults and their caregivers in diverse social contexts. Presentations will draw on research from experts based in Ireland, mainland China (Hangzhou and Shenzhen), and Hong Kong, addressing topics such as the role of assistive technologies, robotics, and long-term care policies. Emphasis will be placed on ethical challenges, user-centered design, and the impact of care innovations on both care recipients and caregivers. Participants will engage with current research trends and practical implications for long-term care, fostering a deeper understanding of how evolving technologies and cultural factors influence care delivery. This event offers a rich academic forum for researchers and students to expand their knowledge and critically reflect on the future of long-term care.

(opens in a new window)Dr. Laura Garbes, Sociologist/Asst. Prof. at the University of Minnesota - Twin Cities, USA. "Listeners Like Who? Examining Public Radio’s White Racial Organizational Structure" Co-sponsored By: UCD School of Information & Communication Studies and UCD Geary Institute for Public Policy.

Abstract: Public radio in the United States has long been heralded as a space for inclusive storytelling and diverse perspectives. However, beneath its progressive ethos lies a structural whiteness that has shaped its institutional development, audience engagement, and sonic aesthetic. Laura describes how public radio’s historical formation, donor reliance, and editorial practices have privileged white voices at the expense of marginalized communities. This talk examines the early decisions that solidified public radio as a predominantly white institutional space, the structural factors that have influenced hiring practices, storytelling norms, and will consider the implications of these findings for media equity and what an antiracist public radio industry might sound like.

13:00-14:00

Room D101, UCD Newman Building, Belfield Campus.

Topic: Caring for Robots (CARO) - Two half day seminars exploring how AI and robotics are transforming healthcare. This includes a discussion of how these technologies address the care deficit, support disabilities, and enhance ageing care, while considering the ethical challenges they bring, such as privacy and AI transparency. Learn how robots and AI are reshaping ideas of good care and the values influencing healthcare practices. 

Summary: 

Integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robotics into health and social care heralds a new era of innovation, promising streamlined work processes, and improved patient care. Robotics and AI can make positive contributions in policy and practice, dealing with the care deficit, empowerment of people with disabilities, vulnerable users, and an ageing population. However, this technological revolution is accompanied by intricate ethical implications that demand meticulous consideration. At these two half-day seminars, we will discuss the challenges, assets and pitfalls of care systems for the future. The focus of the seminar is to explore how ideas of good care reconfigure along with the use of robots and other advanced technology. We will not just discuss a good fit between technology and people but also elicit how this application brings controversies and influences values and practices.

(opens in a new window)Dr. Iñigo (opens in a new window)Aldama Castaño, Postdoctoral Researcher, Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona. "Out of Frame: Investigating Social Rights Access by Non-Private Household Sub-Groups in European Welfare Regimes". 

Abstract: Non-Private Household (NPH) sub-groups - including individuals living in nursing homes and long-term care facilities, hospitals, hostels, homeless shelters, emergency accommodation, prisons, student halls and defence establishments - are highly dependent on welfare services, receiving considerable amounts of social policy energy, resources and attention. Somewhat paradoxically though, we know surprisingly little about their living conditions, transitions and, in turn, how policy design and implementation affect them. This empirical ‘blind spot’ stems from their consistent under-representation - or outright exclusion - from the core population surveys that underpin research and policymaking. This lack of visibility hinders comprehensive analysis of their circumstances and restricts policy evaluation, especially in relation to broader issues like poverty, marginalization, and inequality. Focusing on Ireland, Italy and Spain, we investigate how institutional and systemic factors influence access to social rights for these groups. The analysis considers three core mechanisms: first, legal and administrative categorization determines eligibility for welfare receipt; second, the structure of welfare regimes often overlooks those outside conventional household and employment models; and third, policy implementation gaps and frictions tend to have more severe consequences for resource-poor groups. These dynamics collectively contribute to persistent inequality. Given the fragmented nature of existing data on NPH groups, the study integrates and harmonizes survey, administrative, and national account data for the first time. By shedding light on those groups that are highly politicised but often empirically invisible in social policy analysis, the research expands the scope of welfare regime analysis and offers a new lens for evaluating the inclusiveness and equity of social citizenship in Europe.
