Accounting for care within human geography
Jennie Middleton, Farhan Samanani
Abstract
Drawing on in‐depth interviews with first‐time parents in the city of Oxford, we offer a critical examination of how notions of care can transform practices of research and analysis within human geography. We argue care offers a committed practice of knowing and relating within research where data collection, analysis, and scholarly narratives are all implicated in the remaking of everyday worlds that, in turn, reveal a new terrain of political potentiality.
