Emotional labour of Swedish school principals : Neglected site-based practice knowledge
- 2025
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Vast recruitment problems, high principal turnover, increased market competition and political reforms have intensified relational tensions within and between schools in Sweden.This is devostating for students as well as for the professionals. The aim of this paper is to explore, and deepen the knowledge on, Swedish principals’ work in times when aggravating aspects in schools - threats, high population mobility, comprehensive linguistic, diverse knowledge level, and a dense flow of exceptional incidents in and around the schools - require principals’ emotional resilience.Principals’ leading is here explored as a practice: i.e. the sayings, doings and relatings conditioning and conditioned by site-specific cultural-discursive, material-economic, and social-political arrangements. The paper presents a Swedish pilot-study on principals’ written testimonies on critical incidents (N26). Analysis revealed how principals’ emotional labour played out in repeated encounters with key stakeholders, e.g., students, teachers and student family members and spanned school and community boundaries. It shows that emotions play a crucial role in principals’ leading practices and how the principals navigate and learn ‘how to go on’ based in the emotional labour.Societal conditions intensify emotional demands on Swedish principals and call on less visible, but crucial leadership skills and the emotional management capacities to connect across diverse demographics in holistic and socially just ways. The analyses of the testimonies indicate a risk of alienation as the principals’ emotional work lacks organisational support - emotional labour is not invisible but neglected

Childism, Intersectionality and the Rights of the Child : The myth of a happy childhood
- 2025
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- This book is the first to comprehensively develop the concept of childism to understand, study and analyse age-based discrimination against children.It presents a critical theory to help comprehend intersecting prejudice against children and to examine the weak implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and in what ways violations against children can be analysed through the intersections of racist, sexist and ableist discrimination. The book further offers scholars a new perspective when studying structural forms of discrimination and oppression against children and provides professionals with a new vocabulary on prejudice targeting children when assessing theory, policy and praxis on ‘child-friendly’ and ‘child-centred’ initiatives that overlook the need to protect children against discrimination.This book will be of key interest to scholars, students and practitioners of human rights, child and youth studies, education, prejudice studies, the United Nations and child law, and more broadly to sociology, social policy, psychology, and social work.
