Dear all,

I am sharing a call for papers for a panel on "Caring under Violence" for the next LASA conference:


Caring Under violence. Gender, Social Reproduction, and Reproductive Labour in conflict and violent settings.

Call for papers (by Sept 7 2025): Latin American Studies Association (LASA) May 26-30, 2026 Paris, France



What does care look like in contexts of violence? Engaging with decolonial feminist scholarship and critical debates on violence and everyday peacebuilding, this panel interrogates the ways in which the experiences, practices and politics of care are shaped by conflict and crisis. The panel aims to move beyond dominant understandings of “care work” as captured in time-use surveys and social policy agendas to focus on everyday experiences of care in contexts of environmental and social precarity.



Presentations will explore caregiving under violence in its material, emotional, affective, and moral complexities, uncovering its interplay with gendered social norms and moral expectations. For example, caregiving in violent contexts may involve deeply emotional labour necessary for coping with loss, sustaining hope, providing informal forms of security, keeping children safe, negotiating with armed forces, while carers themselves experience grief, trauma, and threats to their safety. The panel will examine the intersections between parenthood, gendered identities, and social reproduction, considering how these are transformed or reinforced by violence and, at the same time, considering caring across diverse and non-heteronormative family units, emotional bonds and kinship networks.



Engaging with case studies across diverse geographical contexts, social structures and contexts of crisis, the panel calls for contributions that examine the practices, politics, and possibilities of care in conflict and peace studies, situating caregivers and parents as central actors in coping with and reducing violence. In particular, we invite contributions that investigate, among other themes:



* Care as an everyday peacebuilding strategy
* The policy implications of recognising the burdens of care under violence
* Experiences of parenting under violence



We plan for the discussions generated by the panel to contribute to the development of a journal special issue on the topic.
