Researching Care with Case Studies offers a fresh perspective on the universe of care practices, using case studies to illuminate their stretch and complexities. Building on Robert Stake's foundational work with qualitative methods and Merel Visse's integrating insights from care studies, this book offers a comprehensive approach to understanding care across various disciplines. It bridges the gap between research ethodology and both professional and personal realities and concerns of care. Readers will benefit from its focus on the "collaborative-expressive" model of morality, exploring shared responsibility and dynamic interactions in care settings. This practical approach contrasts with traditional theoretical models, offering a more inclusive and adaptable understanding of care. Here, "care" is broadly defined as encompassing all that is done to enhance personal and other well-being, including shared responsibilities, responsiveness to evolving needs, and the ongoing negotiation of optimal solutions.Step by step, this book guides both novice and experienced researchers in prioritizing issues and concerns, context, specific details, relationships, the richness of lived experiences, and personal narratives when studying and advancing care. It provides insights into the strengths of case studies in revealing the essence of care ethics and supports a more nuanced, responsive approach to care research and practice.

Das Seminar fuer Genossenschaftswesen in der Wirtschafts- und Sozialwissenschaftlichen Fakultaet der Universitaet zu Koeln, noch bis Ende 2029 unter der Direktion von Univ.-Prof. Dr. (em.) Frank Schulz-Nieswandt, steht vor seinem 100. Geburtstag. Wie laesst sich die forschungsorientierte Lehrmeinung des Seminars in seiner heutigen Aufstellung charakterisieren? Mit einem epistemologischen Fokus auf die morphologische Methode wird die Kontinuitaet des neokantianischen Kritizismus der Gerhard Weisser-Schule der Sozialpolitik und der Gemeinwirtschaftslehre im Wandel hin zu einer Kritischen Theorie der Ontoanthropologie, Rechtsphilosophie und Ethik der kulturellen Grammatik des genossenschaftlichen Formprinzips skizziert. Das Profil erweist sich als komplexe interdisziplinaere Gewebestruktur von Bezugspunkten: der Daseinsvorsorge, des Sozialraums, der Gemeinwirtschaft, der Gemeinwohloekonomie, der Commons und der Kritik der Grenzen des Traegerpluralismus der Gemeinwirtschaft im Regulationsregime des wettbewerblichen Marktes.
