Decolonizing White Care: Relational Reckoning with the Violence of Coloniality in Welfare
This paper contributes to debates on potential connections between care ethics and decoloniality from within Global North West European whiteness. It adopts a feminist psychosocial position which understands everyday lived realities as shifting dynamic entanglements, produced relationally though complicated spatially and temporally expansive material, discursive and affective practices. First, it situates the liberal welfare state as part of a gl…
Ordering differentiation: Reconfiguring governance as relational politics
This chapter makes a theoretical intervention into debates on governance from a feminist psychosocial perspective. Its key claim is that the distribution of power and emotion are intimately connected in governance. The concept of intersectionality developed out of feminist concerns to understand inequalities as multiple and overlapping. Its analytical focus is the lived complexity of the multiple inequalities. From the latter perspective intersec…
Power, Politics and the Emotions: Impossible Governance?
Being called to ‘By the Rivers of Birminam’: The relational choreography of white looking
In this article, I offer the idea of relational choreography as a way of understanding white positionality as responsible for, as well as resistant to, racialising practices. My argument develops through a self-reflexive analysis of my response to a photographic exhibition by Black British photographer, Vanley Burke, entitled ‘By the Rivers of Birminam’. Looking at Burke's photographs as a counter-archive that is explicitly resistant to the hegem…
What a White Shame: Race, Gender, and White Shame in the Relational Economy of Primary Health Care Organizations in England
This paper considers the relationship between white shame in contemporary UK health care contexts and historically idealized forms of white pride derived from nineteenth-century British colonialism. It uses excerpts from qualitative interview material to highlight the contemporary figures of the “white worried man” and the “white women savior” and the relationship between them. Through this, it explores how shifts from white pride to white shame …

Living documents: A feminist psychosocial approach to the relational politics of policy documentation
This paper challenges dominant analyses of policy documents and documentation practices as coercive welfare technologies. Instead it develops an interdisciplinary feminist psychosocial analysis which posits policy documents as material semiotic actors in the process of governance, produced through and productive of the social relations of public service provision. It uses an empirical case study from the author's experience in equalities policy m…
A Critical Analysis of Approaches to the Concept of Social Identity in Social Policy
This article seeks both to highlight a current imbalance in approaches to social identity in social policy and to make suggestions as to how this might be redressed in future work employing the concept. The concept of identity and specifically social identity is increasingly employed in the discipline of social policy as a theoretical device with which to bridge the individual/social divide. The argument presented here suggests that the concept i…
