In interviews with teachers and students over many years and on many different topics, the word 鈥榬espect鈥� comes up regularly. In this lecture, Professor Mills will explore the meaning of 鈥榬espect鈥� in the context of contemporary constructs of the 鈥榠deal teacher鈥�.听
It will be argued that a lack of 鈥榬espect鈥� is damaging to the teaching profession, and that such a lack is evident in the ways teachers are currently being constructed by policy.
The notion of respect is tied closely to matters of inequality (Sennett, 2003), thus underpinning this talk will be a strong commitment to social justice and to enhancing the place of respect in schools 鈥� both as workplaces and as sites of learning. In particular there will be a focus on Paul Gomberg鈥檚 (2007) work on 鈥榗ontributive justice鈥� and Kathleen Lynch鈥檚 (2009) concerns with affective justice.听
