Transnational Care delves into the complex intersections of migration, labor, and technology within the global care economy. In an era marked by intensified mobility, increased border security, and the digitalization of care platforms, it explores the transnational dimensions of care work, where labor is often outsourced across national boundaries. It investigates how care workers navigate complex social, economic, and digital infrastructures, often at the intersection of precarious labor and global inequalities.

The editors, Elifcan Çelebi and Mert Koçak, together with their guests, engage with various theoretical frameworks on care economies, transnationalism, and digital labor markets, while also addressing the gendered dynamics that shape these experiences. Transnational Care aims to provide a deeper understanding of how care, as both an intimate and commodified practice, is restructured in the context of globalization and digital transformation.
