The organisers  hope  to encourage discussion of and debate about developments through  which  \u2018parenting\u2019 has been constructed as an activity which can and  should be  influenced by scientific evidence and expert opinion.<\/p>\n<p>We invite papers which evaluate claims regarding evidence about   parenting style; which offer an historical perspective; which consider   the increasing reliance on scientific discourses in child-rearing and   legal and policy innovation; which explore the relation between this   \u2018scientisation\u2019 of child-rearing and the wider culture; and which   consider the effects of these developments for parental experience. In   particular, we are interested in exploring claims that suggest   neuroscience provides reliable and important evidence about the   developing fetus and child that can be used to inform law and policy   intended to shape the behaviour of pregnant women and parents; we hope   to focus discussion of one day of this event on this issue.<\/p>\n<p>Conference themes may include: From \u2018scientific motherhood\u2019 to the   \u2018science of parenting\u2019; Contemporary parenting culture in context;   Neuroscience and parenting: a new phrenology?; The role of neuroscience   in law and policy relating to parenthood; The \u2018early intervention\u2019  case:  does parenting style matter more than wealth?; Pregnancy in a   scientised culture; The scientisation of everyday childcare: feeding,   discipline, sleeping, crying, playing, watching TV, reading, daycare   choices; The \u2018scientisation\u2019 of fatherhood; The relationship between   schooling and the \u2018home environment\u2019; Therapeutics, emotion, parenting   and education; Technology, the media and childhood; Brain-based   understandings of adolescent behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The conference is co-ordinated by Dr Ellie Lee (Senior lecturer,   SSPSSR, University of Kent), Dr Jan Macvarish (Research Associate, CHSS,   University of Kent) and Professor Sally Sheldon (KCLGS, Kent Law   School).\u00a0 The event will be held at the University of Kent, Canterbury.   Efforts will be made to keep costs low and it is expected that the   registration fee for participants will be in the region of \u00a375 (to   include refreshments for the duration of the event).\u00a0 Some subsidised   places may be made available for low or unwaged participants.
