| Description: |
Exploring how men in service and caring occupations (cabin crew, primary school teachers, nurses and librarians) both 'do' and 'undo' gender as they manage the potential mismatch between gender and occupational identity, this book engages with the key theoretical concepts of identity, visibility and emotions to examine men's experiences. |
| Synopsis: |
Exploring the experiences of the growing number of men who have entered 'feminine' service and caring occupations, this book examines how men in these contexts both 'do' and 'undo' gender as they manage the potential mismatch between gender and occupational identity. Part One of the book draws on the theoretical concepts of identity, visibility and emotions to bring together some of the work in the field and to explore new developments. Part Two examines the experiences of men in four occupational contexts through the lenses of identity and space (cabin crew); bodies, embodiment and masculinity (nurses); professionalism and care (primary school teachers) and social identity (librarians). The book highlights some of the complications of managing identity in these contexts as well as the complexities and dynamics of negotiating difference |
