Abstrakt: This paper offers an evaluation of the more widely researched forms of emotional labour coupled with aesthetic labour in the context of teaching in higher education. Lecturers are emotional workers, responsive to the demands that their occupation makes on their emotions. The purpose of emotional labour is to promote in others a feeling of being cared for. When you engage in emotional labour, you regulate your feelings to satisfy the goals and expectations of your organisation. The related line of inquiry in the paper is the inclusion of aesthetic labour as an emotional labour strategy. Aesthetic labour is about looking good and sounding right in an organisational setting. Both emotional and aesthetic labour are under-researched areas in higher education and deserve more attention in educational research than they have received to date because of their critical importance towards the quality of teaching and learning.
