Beskrivning

Drawing on extensive empirical research, this book examines paternal involvement in caregiving practices and asks what is currently happening to ‘involved’ fatherhood? The book investigates fatherhood in various everyday settings, such as outdoor spaces, workplaces and the home, while considering the influence of policy frameworks across different European countries. By analysing fathers’ experiences and the impact of policy on familial roles, it provides fresh insights into the concept of ‘involvement’ and progression towards practices of more equitable fatherhood. Encouraging new thinking on paternal engagement, this is a critical look at how fatherhood is navigated, negotiated and understood within diverse cultural and policy contexts in everyday life.

'This book provides a powerful antidote to global toxic masculinity fears. The editors have curated new authoritative evidence of paternal caring from fathers and father figures in diverse settings and family circumstances. This is a significant contribution to public and academic understanding of the state of twenty-first century fatherhood.' Margaret O’Brien, University College London
