Social Pedagogy Reading Club

Join us to discuss this month's article choice, which is 'A Systematic Review of Measures of Child Neglect' by Simon Haworth, Jason Schaub, Elaine Kidney and Paul Montgomery,

February’s #articleofthemonth is a thought-provoking critical analysis of #responsibility. Cecile Remy invites us to read it and think: how can we bring in structure to our everyday relationships? For Cecile, this article shows something that is glaringly missing in the way we talk about #haltung in Social Pedagogy: Responsibility as “involving both personal and structural factors”. Echoing Young (2006), in this article, the authors argue that “not only the individual is at the centre of ethical responsibility, but one’s actions are also embedded within wider structures that can produce injustice and inequalities”. In that sense Young “defines the obligation towards marginalized groups as ‘responsibility for social justice:’ a personal and collective sense of duty that engages with social structure as the core subject of justice”.Really worth reading, you can access the full article here:lnkd.in/gpJhTMECMeloni, Francesca and Humphris, Rachel (2021) Citizens of Nowhere?
