Crises of Care, prof Jon McKenzie, Cornell University, Usa

Our contemporary world suffers from crises of care that stretch across ecologies of self, society, and environment: spikes in US suicide rates among young adults and teenagers, for instance, can be attributed to psychological, economic, and environmental factors affecting both urban and rural communities. What modes of intergenerational care are called for? What role might performance, design, and media play in enhancing the connections between specialized research and the common knowledges of local communities? More specifically: How might socially-engaged practices of design thinking help us mix different performative values (efficacy, effectiveness, efficiency) and collaboratively prototype more caring worlds? How does such collective thought-action unfold across different forms of transmedia knowledge (eg, scholarly articles and presentations, social media, community installations, information comics, TED talks, and policy white papers)? And what is the role of carefree play as we care across generations, species, and worlds? This presentation concludes with a report on a Civic Storytelling project between Cornell University, local public schools, and The History Center of Tompkins County.
