Organised by Parenting Culture Studies and the Kent Centre for Law Gender and Sexuality, the forthcoming event Monitoring Parents: Science, evidence, experts and the new parenting culture provides the opportunity for inter-disciplinary discussion of empirical and theoretical work that explores the increasing advance of a ‘science’ of child-rearing. The organisers hope to encourage discussion of and debate about developments through which ‘parenting’ has been constructed as an activity which can and should be influenced by scientific evidence and expert opinion.
