My name is Sheridan Conty (she/her) and I’m currently a PhD Candidate at Carleton University in Ottawa, ON, Canada. I often describe myself as a medical anthropologist who focuses on elder care policies in Ottawa. Personal and professional experiences have led me to my current research study which aims track the materialization of elder care policies by examining how the rules and regulations that are present in elder care settings impact the labour conditions of care workers, and the experiences of elders and their families. I ask questions such as how do elder care policies on Ontario manifest across a variety of spaces, including long-term care homes, retirement home, and home care settings? In what ways do care policies materialize through things like physical objects, paperwork, and relations? What are the implications of these processes of materialization for both quality of care and labour conditions? I’m inspired by feminist writings on care, as well as perspectives on care coming from Indigenous and queer thinkers.
