This book offers a unique and critical explication of teachers'
understanding and experience of care during a period of regulatory
scrutiny and 'notice to improve'. Written following research in a
primary school in the north of England, it draws on the findings of
an institutional ethnography to reveal the institutional mediation
of the teachers' everyday work. Written from a critical
interpretivist standpoint, the focus moves away from care as
essentialist practice by foregrounding the teachers' talk, through
'I' poems, to explicate the political mediation of care. Care is
understood, experienced and operates in a social milieu. It is not
fixed and, importantly, is not understood as a practice or an
emotional exchange between one person and another. In this book,
Joan Tronto's (1993) argument for a 'political ethic of care' is
utilised as a conceptual framework for understanding teachers'
experiences. It is an alternative to approaches that individualise
a teacher's caring practices as only belonging in the intimate,
proximal domains of care giving and care receiving.
