Under heaps of bubble-wrap a lone hand emerges to wave hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today bodies and bubble-wrap bump up against mandatory safety checks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/em>Close encounters with mounds of bubble-wrap create caring relations that transform the classroom into complex sites of response(ability) (Gabrys, Hawkins & Michael, 2013; Haraway, 2016). The intermingling of bodies and bubble-wrap in motion push educators to think beyond governing binaries: safe\/unsafe and care\/careless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As educators and researchers continue to take the safety of children seriously, Maria Puig de la Bellacasa (2017) reminds them that, \u201ccare can be done within and for worlds that we might find objectionable\u201d (p. 6). Providing safe and care(full) living is never a neutral act but rather a non-innocent ethical-political process of living \u201cas well as possible\u201d (p. 16) in relations with more-than-human others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n References<\/p>\n\n\n\n Gabrys, J., Hawkins, G., and Michael, M.
