Who cares for the carers: A poetic inquiry of initial teacher educators of professional experience

In this paper, Professor Narelle Lemon, Dr Carli Sanbrook, Dr Rikki James, Mrs Marnie Harris, Ms Tammy Green, Dr Rozita Dass, Mrs Bev Adkin, and Ms Gail Berman, suggest that poetic inquiry offers a pathway for capturing the deeply felt, personal dimensions of ongoing identity growth of initial teacher educators of professional experience. We propose that poetic inquiry provides an avenue for authentically sharing experiences and insights into caring and being cared for, diverging from conventional academic narratives. Through poetic self-reflection and collective poetic representation, we can uncover and navigate the subtle tensions shaping our identity journey, fostering a communal understanding of the teacher educator’s role within the contexts of Australian higher education and initial teacher education.

Arsenic is everywhere – but new detection methods could help save lives
