‘Parenting Culture Studies’ past and future

CPCS has aimed to raised new questions for scholarship, and work with colleagues across disciplines and career stages. However, we also ‘face outwards’ and work with anyone dealing with the problems raised by parenting culture. We are delighted to have comments here from research programme leaders, PhD candidates, writers, campaigners and service providers. Here they share their reflections, ten years on from the founding of our Centre.
