Labours of Care in Sport
Keyword(s):
Meena Gopal’s essay employs a feminist perspective of care and an autoethnographic method to explore the dimensions of a nurturing, mentoring practice in athletics. It is done through an unravelling of school, club and social intersections, illuminating possibilities of a sports commons even while nurturing competitive excellence. The labours of mentoring and care in the arena of athletics hopes to generate sport as a space that is participatory, inclusive and emancipatory. In the 1980s, the skewed nature of public schools meant that sport received less state support, while private institutions were able to nurture some sports talent due to sustained mentorship.
