Description
Summary:Nel Noddings describes two types of care: natural care (caring born of a natural inclination) and ethical care (caring brought forward by a sense of moral need).3 Rooted in feminist theory and originating with Carol Gilligan and Nel Noddings' work, the concept of ethical care considers situational needs and personal relationships within the context of rules.4 In the work environment, we often provide ethical care, as care is not required but, through our own experiences and empathy, we determine that care is needed to help another person navigate a specific situation. Editing as Service," Ann Marie Ryan explores the relationship of editorial work with customer service. [...]Ryan points out that the editor is a service provider, and that one of their roles is to build relationships. In the literature on care, empathy, and customer service in the editing process, I see similar factors in play, and they all point to centering the human aspect of all that we do within our work.
