    This paper offers a reflective account of delivering art workshops in women's prisons in England, as one method in a larger, qualitative study around the role of food in prisons. We present reflections around the role of art workshops in building relationships and community between the researcher and the participants, and the participants themselves. We found that building connection through art workshops, in a hostile and challenging environment…

  • Intensive mothering in hard times

    Open AccessBenedetta Cappellini, Harman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Consumer Culture2019Cited by: 22References: 11

    Discourses of intensive mothering now seem to dominate European and American parenting cultures. This is a problem for those mothers who do not currently possess the resources to match up. In a study of Italian and British mothers who are experiencing low or reduced incomes, we observe the ways in which they internalize intensive mothering discourses through a process of ethical self-formation. This mode of self-formation involves detailed self-s…

We consider the in…

    Harman, Vicki HarmanARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2013Cited by: 10References: 24

    This paper draws upon in-depth interviews with thirty lone white mothers of mixed-parentage children in Britain in order to analyse the range of informal support networks that mothers utilize in their parenting. The findings show that while racism impacted upon mothers' support networks, their parenting experiences also led to an impetus to enlarge these networks, for example through support groups, friendships with people from minority ethnic ba…

  • Experiences of racism and the changing nature of white privilege among lone white mothers of mixed-parentage children in the UK

    Harman, Vicki HarmanARTICLEEthnic and Racial Studies2010Cited by: 32References: 12

    n The growing number of mixed relationships and mixed-parentage children in the UK has been held up as an indicator of increasing racial harmony. However, research has found that racism is a relatively common experience for mixed-parentage children. This paper draws upon empirical research involving in-depth qualitative interviews with thirty lone white mothers of mixed-parentage children. It argues that as well as negotiating racism directed at …
