Monitoring Parents: Science, evidence, experts and the new parenting culture
Conference organised by the new Centre for Parenting Culture Studies at the University of Kent 13th and 14th September 2011
Monitoring Parents: Science, evidence, experts and the new parenting culture provides the opportunity for inter-disciplinary discussion of empirical and theoretical work that explores the increasing advance of a ‘science’ of child-rearing. The organisers hope to encourage discussion of and debate about developments through which ‘parenting’ has been constructed as an activity which can and should be influenced by scientific evidence and expert opinion.
