Trajectories of Care
Drawing on a study involving 41 men employed as support workers in the Australia Health Care and Social Assistance (HCSA) sector, in this article we investigate where in their lives and how men turn to caring roles. Documenting continuities of men's caring practices in their work lives and private lives, we present a series of men's care biographies and add to the literature on masculinity and care work by using the concept of “trajectories of ca…
Gendered Attitudes or Structural Barriers? Men Front Line Workers' Perspectives on What Keeps Men out of Paid Care Work in Australia
Gender segregation in paid care work offers a critical lens for understanding how gender inequality is reproduced in contemporary societies. While much research has explained men's absence from paid care through cultural and identity‐based accounts, less has been done to examine the structural mechanisms that sustain the feminisation of care. This paper addresses that gap by analysing men's experiences in frontline aged and disability care in Aus…
Colonial Care in the Nordics
Like in Every Other Facet of Life, I am Privileged to be a Man
This article analyses young men’s political subjectivities through a prism of everyday alignments and disassociations with historically, socially and spatially produced masculinities. Drawing on qualitative data from a wider project on men and care work, we analyse insights from interview and focus group data pertaining to young-adult men (19–37 years old) working in the Australian Health Care and Social Assistance sector to document how they dis…
Caring Masculinities in Theory and Practice
This article intends to stimulate conversation and critical thinking about the concept of 'caring masculinities' and its ongoing relevance to the field of critical studies of men and masculinities (CSMM). Caring masculinities is subject to debate around its theoretical premises, its potential as a feminist concept, and the limits of the empirical evidence base that underpins the concept and its associated implications. We respond to some of these…
Caring Masculinities and Race
Karla Elliott defines caring masculinities as both embracing care and rejecting domination. Most work within critical studies on men and masculinities that engages with masculinities and care focuses on care yet sidelines non-domination. For caring masculinities to not be/come a 'White' concept, this article argues for a broad grounding of caring masculinities in a rejection of all forms of domination and starts with race. Bringing research on th…
I don't clean up after myself
In this article, I propose to look at the organisation of reproductive labour in the 'global North' through a lens of epistemic ignorance. Focusing on the process of outsourcing, I argue that it creates forms of irresponsibility, and with it, epistemic ignorance. The devaluation of domestic work and the degradation of domestic workers is shaped by gendered and colonial ideologies, and Western epistemologies. These epistemologies underpin a strong…
