My research interests are encapsulated in four areas:
(i) Gender, work, and care:
Relations between paid and unpaid work;
Changing motherhood and fatherhood;
Breadwinning mothers and caregiving fathers;
Gender divisions and relations of labour;
Cross-generational practices and meanings of work, care and consumption;
Digital subjectivities (mommy/daddy blogging)
(ii) Careful and Engaged Knowing:
Quantitative research methodologies;
Narrative, visual and digital methods;
Epistemological and methodological issues involved in attempting to know and represent the narratives of others;
Reflexive and relational knowing;
(iii) International comparative social policies, especially parental leave.
(iv) Connection sociological narratives, fiction, and creative non-fiction
This is an emergent area of interest/passion that links the social sciences and humanities, and issues of representation, method, and life writing.
