“…This interpretation acknowledges also children's potential for political agency as family members, which arises in engagements and struggles that affect the geographies of their homes (Bosco, 2010;Bartos, 2012;Mashall, 2013;Aitken, 2014).…”

“…Kye's experiences then interweave voluntary labour, giving and receiving support as volunteer, getting help and advice from academic colleagues, and being enabled to undertake research at AN-ORG, likewise combining an interplay of care giving and receiving across a spectrum of actors. Ultimately, we find ourselves positioned in networks of reciprocity, in which care is political precisely as a response to complex power inequalities (Bartos, 2012). This speaks to wider academic relations beyond research, and reciprocity as being a key point of connection between ethics of care and justice.…”

This paper aims to better understand the role of emotions in academia, and their part in producing, and challenging, an increasingly normalized neoliberal academy. It unfolds from two narratives that foreground emotions in and across academic spaces and practices, to critically explore how knowledges and positions are constructed and circulated. It then moves to consider these issues through the lens of care as a political stance towards being and becoming academics in neoliberal times. Our aim is to contribute to the burgeoning literature on emotional geographies, explicitly bringing this work into conversation with resurgent debates surrounding an ethic of care, as part of a politic of critiquing individualism and managerialism in (and beyond) the academy. We consider the ways in which neoliberal university structures circulate particular affects, prompting emotions such as desire and anxiety, and the internalisation of competition and audit as embodied scholars. Our narratives exemplify how attendant emotions and affect can reverberate and be further reproduced through university cultures, and diffuse across personal and professional lives.We argue that emotions in academia matter, mutually co-producing everyday social relations and practices at and across all levels. We are interested in their political implications, and how neoliberal norms can be shifted through practices of caring-with.

“…2 paradigm. What typically remains out of sight are questions concerning children's political formation and the practices by which they take part in and constitute politics on their own grounds, as part of their everyday lives that are not just agonistic in nature (Bartos, 2012;Biesta, 2012;). …”

Rethinking Spatial Socialisation as a Dynamic and Relational Process of Political Becoming

In this paper, I set out to bring early political development back to the research agenda in childhood studies as well as to the social scientific inquiry more generally. Proposing a geographical approach, I seek to develop the concept of spatial socialization as a dynamic and relational process through which political becoming takes place. Contrary to conventional conceptions, I present children as participants rather than as recipients of socialization--active agents in their everyday environments alongside their adult authorities, institutions, the media, and their communities as a whole. Moreover, drawing from phenomenological theorizations of subjectivity, politics and space, the employed approach problematizes the worlds in which political socialization takes place. I argue that the dynamic processes of socialization constitute the spatial realities where children and youth lead their as much as they constitute the youthful subjects they involve.
