Sensory ways of knowing care: possibilities for reconfiguring ‘the distribution of the sensible’ in paid homecare work
2021
Calls for the professionalising of homecare are often driven by a perceived gap in knowing ‘good care’. However, many training solutions are underpinned by a cognitivist notion of knowing as a rational process of making sense of sense. A different approach to knowing homecare is provided in this paper based on a very different set of assumptions on knowing and knowledge. Suggestions for researching homecare are provided underpinned by the notion of sensory ways of knowing. These other ways of knowing ‘good care’ potentially reconfigure who and what are able to be attended to in the field of homecare.
