In this introduction we argue that taking a topological approach to care can encourage us to understand both how caring relations and practices are produced and the forms they take as they shift and transform. We suggest that thinking topologically about the articles collected in this special section highlights how caring actions and practices ripple out into the world beyond immediate caring relationships and the immediate moment. Responding to a call within geographies of care to be thoroughly attuned to the placed‐ness of caring relations and to contribute work that theorises from places beyond the global north, the papers in this collection are situated in diverse geographical and cultural contexts, thoroughly contextualised in place and time and explore complicated relations that shape and challenge care. The geographies of care presented in this collection are a sampling of the diverse forms of care that are possible and, we argue, that by employing a topological approach to care, the possibility of what care can be and mean multiplies and expands
