Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a framework for better articulating the value of social caretaking.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Exploration of how language shapes the perception and legitimacy of caregiving roles.

    • Main Results:

    • The 'vocabulary of care' is identified as the primary voice of women and social work.
    • Recognizing this vocabulary can enhance the justification and dignity of caretaking tasks.
    • Current emphasis on logic limits the expression and appreciation of care's complexities.

    Conclusions:

    • Elevating the 'vocabulary of care' is crucial for social work's professional identity.
    • Dignifying caretaking tasks requires acknowledging their complexity and vital importance.
    • Social work must embrace and promote a language that truly reflects its core values and practices.
