Research Objective and Theoretical Framework Care, essential in our lives, is the focus of this study, embodying efforts to maintain, continue, and enhance our world for improved living, as argued by Fisher and Tronto (1990, p.40). The paper aims to refine the conceptualization of care in organizing, shedding light on its potential for collective transformation in understanding and interactions within the world. With a focus on organizational education, the study investigates the concept of care within the context of organizational learning and democratic transformation, addressing current challenges in times of uncertainty. Examining care's interplay through discussions around the cycle of care formulation (Fisher & Tronto, 1990; Tronto, 2013; 2017), encompassing (a) caring about, (b) taking care of, (c) caregiving, (d) care receiving, and, with a specific contribution from Tronto (2013, 2017), (e) caring with. The primary aim is to explore democratic transformation during uncertainty from an organizational education standpoint, guided by the research question, "To what extent does organizing care foster democracy-as-becoming in times of uncertainty?" Theoretical perspectives include analyses of feminist capitalist systems (Federici, 2019), feminist critiques on social reproduction crises (Winker, 2015; Habermann, 2009; 2016), post-anthropocentric considerations (Barad 2003, p. 810), and new ethical possibilities. Care is presented as a practical philosophy in post-humanist theory (Gravett, Taylor, & Fairchild, 2021), contributing uniquely to understanding care within democratic transformation. Method and Methodology This study employs integrated methodologies and insights from various perspectives, including feminist critiques, post-humanist considerations, and meta-feminist insights, to reevaluate the conventional cycles of care proposed by Tronto (2013; 2017). The method involves critical examination and synthesis of diverse approaches within feminist scholarship. Through a thorough literature review, this research aims to deconstruct prevailing notions of care and reconstruct a broader conceptualization. By doing so, the study provides a nuanced understanding of care in the context of democratic transformation. Conclusions and Expected Outcomes In this paper, the aim is to rethink and explore democratic possibilities for organizing care, with relevance to organizational learning within, by, and between organizations (Göhlich et al., 2018). Toward democracy, the goal is to cultivate contributions from emerging organizing potentials and foster transformations through 'quiet, gentle, slow-cook, everyday' practices in organizing, as well as 'caring for the relationships that exist around the production of shared resources' (Pottinger, 2017; Moore, 2018, p.16). This will open up more discussions and prompt further questions about the conceptualizing and theorizing of care.
