Our final #TCC2025 keynote, delivered by Prof. Håkan Jönson and Prof. Tove Harnett, guides us to escape “cognitive traps” and rethink how we view older people and their rights through a “disability lens”. They frame older care receivers as rights-holders, not just collaborators in care systems.

We’re starting the final day of #TCC2025 with 9 panels and 43 presentations on the dark side of care, inequalities, life-course analysis, participatory rights, care responsibilities, Global South perspectives, digital technology, and gender and new care futures. A powerful closing day ahead!
