商品描述

This book explores questions of care in higher education. Using Joan Tronto's seven signs that institutions are not caring well, the authors examine whether students and staff consider universities to be caring institutions. As such, they outline how universities systematically, structurally, and actively 'undercare' when it comes to supporting students and staff, a phenomenon which was amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. Drawing on scholarly ideas from the sociology of care, higher education, social justice, and feminist critique, and in dialogue with empirical insights gathered with people who work and study in universities in Australia, South Africa, and the UK, the book questions why people care, as well as why adopting a caring position in higher education can be viewed as radical. The authors conclude by asking what we can do to counter that view by thinking carefully about the purpose, power, and plurality of care, before imagining how we can create more caring universities.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討高等教育中的關懷問題。作者運用Joan Tronto提出的七個指標來評估機構是否未能妥善關懷，並檢視學生和教職員是否認為大學是關懷的機構。因此，他們概述了大學在支持學生和教職員方面系統性、結構性和主動地「缺乏關懷」的情況，這一現象在COVID-19疫情期間更加明顯。本書借鑒了關懷社會學、高等教育、社會正義和女性主義批評的學術觀點，並與在澳大利亞、南非和英國的工作和學習人員所收集的實證見解進行對話，質疑人們為何會關懷，以及在高等教育中採取關懷立場為何會被視為激進。作者最後提出，我們可以做些什麼來反對這種觀點，並仔細思考關懷的目的、權力和多元性，然後想像如何創造出更具關懷精神的大學。
