ii SNAP! Abstract [working] Hodges’ model as a mathematical object, a lens for social care and inclusion: category theory or category mistake?

Snap! 

As suspected the elasticity in the holistic bandwidth of the working abstract just failed.

The abstract rejected, I'm not surprised.

[ Prev. https://hodges-model.blogspot.com/2023/03/category-theory-or-category-mistake.html ]

I hoped 'no news' ... might fuel progress for a little longer.

Clearly (again), holistic bandwidth is never enough - focus, focus.

I'm grateful to learn from the call however, that there is a need to address:

How can prevention in social care be better conceptualised?

So I've a start at least ...

Grateful too, in the call, for Wright Mills sociological imagination:

“Know that the human meaning of public issues must be revealed by relating them to personal troubles—and to the problems of the individual life. Know that the problems of social science, when adequately formulated, must include both troubles and issues, both biography and history, and the range of their intricate relations. Within that range the life of the individual and the making of societies occur; and within that range the sociological imagination has its chance to make a difference in the quality of human life in our time.” Wright Mills (1959:226). [My emphasis.]

Clearly the current and previous governments have not got a clue!

I have rarely felt the fury that I feel at todays @DHSCgovuk “announcement” on social care. A massive retreat from what was already bare minimum first steps in long term reform. So on top of previously announced delays to the cap and a better means test, here’s what we now have..
