New Fathers – New Care – New Work
The article asks about the potential of a care perspective for New Work in science. Care work is largely largely eliminated in the meritocratic performance system of science. Based on qualitative data, the article shows that fathers in the science through their experiences in the COVID-19 pandemic deal with heteronormative invocations and develop new practices and a changed self-image as caring scientists.
