Dr. Afolabi and Dr. Ünsal have attended online to the 2024 workshop to present and discuss their research paper titled “Can we reimagine policy-making in the field of culture from a care ethics perspective?”  The workshop focused on Decolonizing Public Policy: struggles, ideas and experiences from the Global South (T06W03, Session 4) and was chaired and moderated by Rosana Boullosa (University of Brasilia/Brazil and Enap/Brazil), Ana Claudia Farranha (Universidade de Brasília), Mireille Manga (IRIC, University of Yaoundé II), Paloma Villagómez-Ornelas (University of Guadalajara).

Dr. Afolabi and Dr. Ünsal have curated and moderated a panel at the 2024 Conference of the Canadian Association for Theatre Research on June 6, 2024. This curated panel brought three distinct yet connected research papers focusing on justice, ethics of care and cultural policies across different places. Using different methods, papers examined how cultural policies impact performing artists’ living and working conditions— immigrants and refugees.
