The only thing missing now is her being on the outside: Bodily borders/boundaries within father-foetal bonding interactions for UK expectant fathers
Pregnancy and becoming a parent are heavily gendered experiences, experiences which feminist geographers have convincingly situated as significantly spatial. This paper makes an important contribution by addressing the general absence of expectant fathers’ voices/experiences within geographical work on pregnancy/parenting. Drawing upon periodic in-depth interviews conducted during pregnancy and after the birth, it interrogates the manifold ways g…
When and how long? Anxiety and uncertainty in expectant fathers' negotiation of paternity leave from work in the UK
Building upon broader conceptions of family-as-practice, geographers have convincingly situated pregnancy and parenthood as implicitly spatial experiences, with the transition to parenthood being associated with an array of spaces/places, and changes to spatial routines. Following the arrival of a child, parents typically take a portion of leave from work, the amount of which generally differs between mothers and fathers. Whilst the importance, a…
The coronavirus pandemic: Exploring expectant fathers’ experiences
The Coronavirus pandemic raises significant concerns about pervasive social inequities and disparate gender relations, particularly between mothers/fathers. Indeed, the pandemic engendered a general retreat into traditional parenting roles across myriad, everyday, institutional, spaces, including workplaces, homes, and welfare/healthcare services. These effects have been especially marked for couples expecting a child. Visitor-restriction policie…
Understanding the ‘degree awarding gap’ in geography, planning, geology and environmental sciences in UK higher education through peer research
This paper draws on critical race theory to analyse testimonies from students that help explain why minoritised ethnic communities studying geography, planning, geology and environmental sciences in the UK, have a lesser chance of being awarded a ‘good’ degree (i.e. an upper second- or first-class), in comparison to White British people. There are very low levels of ethnic diversity across these subject areas. We conducted peer research, includin…
Articulating encounters between children and plastics
In the context of global concerns about plastics, this paper sets out and exemplifies a research agenda for articulating children's encounters with plastics. The paper analyses data co-produced with 11-15 year-olds through interviews, app-based research and experimental/arts-led workshops. It moves beyond scholarship in health and environmental sciences, and in environmental education research, to outline a far richer range of ways to conceptuali…
So you’re literally taking the piss?! Critically analysing and accounting for ethics (and risk) in interdisciplinary research on children and plastics
Whilst interdisciplinarity has been an integral part of childhood studies, it is less common for social scientists and natural scientists to collaborate in this space – and especially with scholars like environmental (nano)scientists. This paper draws on vignettes from a project about children and plastics, which combined a range of qualitative, artistic and biosampling methods. Focusing on these methodological intersections, the paper critically…
