Abstract

We explore the care work of parents in the lives of adults with intellectual disabilities in Norway. We theorize these parental contributions as a form of care infrastructure. Through their presence in the daily lives of the persons with intellectual disabilities as well as through maintenance work and repair work on welfare services, parents respond to unpredictable care provision in the welfare state. These efforts sometimes entail invention and result in new types of care structures, which we call "care pioneering."

期刊介绍： Medical Anthropology provides a global forum for scholarly articles on the social patterns of ill-health and disease transmission, and experiences of and knowledge about health, illness and wellbeing. These include the nature, organization and movement of peoples, technologies and treatments, and how inequalities pattern access to these. Articles published in the journal showcase the theoretical sophistication, methodological soundness and ethnographic richness of contemporary medical anthropology. Through the publication of empirical articles and editorials, we encourage our authors and readers to engage critically with the key debates of our time. Medical Anthropology invites manuscripts on a wide range of topics, reflecting the diversity and the expanding interests and concerns of researchers in the field.
