mothering and motherhood


February 18 e 19 2011, ISCTE-IUL, Lisbon, Portugal.

International conference hosted by MIRCI (Motherhood Initiative for Research and Community Involvement) and CRIA - Centro em Rede de Investigação em Antropologia. Building upon the Rich's crucial distinction between mothering and motherhood the conference will explore how scholars and activists challenge normative motherhood and develop new experiences, practices, identities, meanings, activism, ideologies and policies for empowered mothering. I''ll be there on Saturday, speaking about traditional nursery rhymes and mothern mothers. Here, the program's pdf.
