Being a good digital parent: Representations of parents, youth and the parent–youth relationship in expert advice
Social concern about online behaviour and safety of children and youth has increased dramatically in the last decade and has resulted in an abundance of parenting advice on ways to manage and protect children online. The cultural context in which this is happening is one characterised by intensive parenting norms, heightened risk awareness, and growing concerns about the effects of ‘over-parenting’, especially in the teenage years. Using contempo…
Love builds brains: Representations of Attachment and Children's Brain Development in Parenting Education Material
A focus on early brain development has come to dominate expert child rearing advice over the past two decades. Recent scholars have noted a reinvigoration of the concept of attachment in this advice and changes in the ways that attachment is framed and understood. The extent to which the concept of attachment is drawn on, the way it is framed, and the consequences for mothers, families and parent-child relationships is examined through a discursi…
Changing understandings and expectations of parental involvement in education
Parents, especially mothers, have been increasingly positioned as a central determinant of children’s educational outcomes. Analysing articles from a Canadian parenting magazine, this study explores and compares understandings of what it means to be an involved parent in a child’s education during two time periods: 1993–1995 and 2013–2015. Findings suggest that involved parenting with respect to children’s education is complex and intensive, occu…
Putting family first’: Shifting discourses of motherhood and childhood in representations of mothers' employment and child care
‘I know I'm a good mom’: Young, low-income mothers’ experiences with risk perception, intensive parenting ideology and parenting education programmes
Intensive mothering, which fits within neo-liberal notions of individual responsibility and risk management, and is based on middle-class ideals, is widely accepted as the 'proper' mode of child rearing. Intensive mothering ideology also intersects culturally with expanding notions of risks to children's wellbeing and increasing portrayals of parents as risk factors in their children's lives. State-driven interventions aimed at promoting intensiv…
European Geography Higher Education Fieldwork and the Skills Agenda
The Bologna Declaration focuses on skill acquisition as a means of improving student employability and fieldwork is considered to be a pivotal teaching method for geography students to obtain such skills. This paper presents results from a major substantive survey of European geography academics and students which investigated their perspectives with regard to the role of geography fieldwork in the gaining of transferable employability skills. Re…

How Involved Is Involved Fathering: An Exploration of the Contemporary Culture of Fatherhood
While popular cultural representations portray the 'new father' of the past two decades as more involved, more nurturing, and capable of coparenting, many argue that actual fathering conduct has not kept pace. Others, however, question the extent to which the culture of fatherhood does indeed support involved fathering and, if so, what this involvement entails. This study aims to contribute to the exploration of the culture of fatherhood through …
Family Patterns, Gender Relations
This is a collection of articles written from a critical, feminist perspective which develops a systematic understanding of family. Topics include: new patterns in family demographics; a re-examination of the stereotypical nuclear family; current changes in the paid labour force; an up-to-date look at childbirth practices; the gendered division of labour; divorce; immigration; one-parent families; and gay and lesbian families
Moral Constructions of Motherhood in Breastfeeding Discourse
Some of the ways in which the experience of mothering is shaped by the moral and cultural constructions surrounding breastfeeding discourse are examined using a critical deconstruction of recent Canadian health education material. Connections between the understandings surrounding breastfeeding and cultural constructions of nature and sexuality are raised, as is the overlap between breastfeeding discourse and a number of other social discourses i…
Recent Representations in Popular Environmental Discourse: Individualism, Wastefulness and the Global Economy
À partir du concept de règie morale, on proc̀ede à une déconstruction critique du récent discours environnemental axé sur l'individualisme et la gestion des déchets. Les sources analysées comprennent des emissions télévisées diffusées à la CBC telles que The Journal, Prime Time News et The Nature of Things ainsi que les programmes sco‐laires de l'Ontario. On soutient que, dans la compréhension populaire à l'égard de l'environnement, l'accent mis …

Barriers to Individual Environmental Action: The Influence of Attitudes and Social Experiences
À partir de données tirées d'un sondage effectué en 1990 sur un échantillon aléatoire de résidents d'Edmonton et à l'aide des métho‐des du LISREL, nous examinons certaines influences perceptuelles, situationnelles et structurelles sur les choix d'habitudes de vie sur le plan de l'environnement. Pour cela, nous utilisons des modèles déquations structurelles dans lesquels les attitudes à l'égard de l'environnement interviennent comme variables. Nou…
