Gendered capital: Emotional capital and mothers’ care work in education
This paper is concerned with the inequalities experienced by mothers in the performance of educational care work for their children. It is argued that the caring work carried out by mothers at transfer to second‐level schooling is shaped by their ability to activate the significant resource of emotional capital; a gendered resource involving emotional skills, knowledge and experiences. Drawing on an in‐depth study of mothers’ routines of care, it…
Mothers' emotional care work in education and its moral imperative
This paper seeks to build on feminist and egalitarian critiques of the traditional allocation of care work to mothers, particularly in relation to understandings of educational care work.

The paper draws on key findings from an in‐depth qualitative stud…
Happier Transports to Be: Catullus' Poem 4: Phaselus Ille
The poeta doctus Catullus is, on the face of it, omnipresent in his poetry, often by name. The reader imagines she knows Catullus, but who does she know? In the end, miser or pessimus poeta, all that remains of Catullus in his poetry. Few figures in the ancient world are as perplexing. His poems require an effort of interpretation from the reader their brevity belies. For instance, Catullus' Poem 4 is always a source of puzzlement - to me anyway.…

Girls and Transition to Second-level Schooling in Ireland: Moving on' and 'moving out' Correspondence : Maeve O'Brien, Department of Human Development, St Patrick's College of Education, Drumcondra, D…
This article explores how groups of Irish girls from different social class backgrounds negotiate the transition from first- to second-level schooling and seeks to understand how their classed and gendered identities are produced and reproduced at this time of change. We hope to argue that the school choice process, although highly significant, is only one step in a series of challenges that girls and their families must negotiate at this disjunc…
