Bristol authors Kate Boyer and Sally Dowling introduce their new books on motherhood and breastfeeding.
Spaces and Politics of Motherhood by Kate Boyer offers a fresh perspective on maternity based on original qualitative research from the United Kingdom and the United States. Drawing on interviews, participant observation, an analysis of parenting websites and policy analysis, this book presents a series of interlinking arguments about the role of space, place and matter in early motherhood and the processes by which mothers come to understand themselves as such.
Social Experiences of Breastfeeding edited by Sally Dowling, David Pontin and Kate Boyer, brings together international academics, policy makers and practitioners to build bridges between the real-world and scholarship on breastfeeding. It asks the question: How can the latest social science research into breastfeeding be used to improve support at both policy and practice level, in order to help women breastfeed and to breastfeed for longer?
Both authors will be happy to chat about their works and research. This is a free event but those interested are requested to register with the venue.
