    Abstract

    This paper brings into proximity and advances geographical engagements with care to propose a new radical care framework for research with minoritised migrants and refugees in the city. Informed by calls for alternative and care-full modes of knowledge production through creative engagements with lived experiences of care and building on recent scholarship on shadow infrastructures of care in cities, it examines how we might attend to the invisibilised modes of caring in the city with migrants and refugees. The paper outlines three dimensions of the framework – knowledges, temporalities and spatialities – as starting points to develop more expansive understandings of care and its radical potential, offering new politics and poetics that challenge and refuse the co-optation of care into the logics of neoliberalism and racial capitalism and to imagine more care-full urban futures.
