Post-doc project This project focuses on time, space, and food culture, and how these are shaped by teachers’ words and actions in Home economics (HE).
Preliminary results indicate that HE risks being isolated in the school, but it has strong ties to the home – both the students’ current home and an imagined future home that functions as a template for teaching activities. Teachers experience time poverty in the subject, but this is not only due to a lack of hours. Cooking involves complex rhythms and students work at different paces, creating a situation of arrhythmia that makes teaching in HE a challenge.
