Re-Imagining Parenthood: Diversity, Change, Resistance?

Mansions of the Future, Lincoln, 6-7th July 2020,

Revised dates TBC

Parenting involves multiple exchanges, some of which involve a continual consideration and renegotiation of what it is, or could be, to be a particular identity such as punk, goth or metalhead. For some, it is a struggle to find a balance between questioning authority and needing obedience for the safety or well-being of the child. For others, it is trying to figure out how to raise their child to be able to oppose problematic structural norms, unquestioned beliefs and still ensure that they are able to function in the institutions and social groups they are a part of. This can be made all the more confusing and / or complicated by significant changes that have occurred to family life.
