The dossier stems from a seminar on the politics of \u201cgood parenting\u201d held at the University of Mainz, Germany, in 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The dossier explores the topic of parenting through the interaction of three groups of actors: (1) the parents themselves, who navigate their own imaginings of parenthood while facing expectations and role assignments based on \u201cideal types\u201d of persons; (2) the experts \u2014 both professionals and self-proclaimed \u2014 who hold central authority in observing, commenting on, and, if necessary, intervening in parenting practices; (3) the audiences, including not only (other) parents and experts, but also in-laws, neighbors, children, and any other observing member of an imagined community who seemingly watches and judges whether parenting is being done properly, well, and appropriately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The collection features articles based on empirical research from different regions of the world, reflecting on gender, race, and class inequalities that shape parenting interventions, public policy goals, and the moral and emotional dimensions of parents\u2019 identity work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the introduction by organizers Heike Drotbohm and Konstanze N\u2019Guessan, the special issue includes the following articles: \u201cWhat Exactly Is a Family Man? Performing and Precluding Respectable Fatherhood in Dominica,\u201d by Adom Philogene Heron; \u201cMaking beautiful babies: Performative parenting, parental determinism, and personhood in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire,\u201d by Konstanze N\u2019Guessan; \u201cMotherhood amidst reprimands and advice: Parenting and class in Rio de Janeiro,\u201d by Laura Lowenkron and Camila Fernandes; \u201cContesting parenting expertise: Constructing good mothering and searching for dignity in Cameroonian Berlin,\u201d by Pamela Feldman-Savelsberg; \u201cAid workers parenting in the field: Children-as-audience and the generational transmission of privilege in Senegal,\u201d by Dinah Hannaford; \u201cHelp can harm.

A commentary,\u201d by Claudia Fonseca.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/etho.70013\">The article by professors Laura Lowenkron (CLAM\/IMS\/UERJ and REMA) and Camila Fernandes (CLAM\/IMS\/UERJ and REMA), titled \u201cMotherhood amidst reprimands and advice: Parenting and class in Rio de Janeiro,\u201d addresses inequalities in how motherhood is moralized in contemporary Brazil. <\/a>The analysis focuses on two modes of communication \u2014 reprimands and expert advice \u2014 directed at mothers in two distinct social contexts in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Based on Camila Fernandes\u2019s fieldwork in a favela complex, the first case study examines how poor and racialized women are scolded by professionals at public daycare centers. Drawing from Laura Lowenkron\u2019s ethnographic research in a middle-class parents\u2019 WhatsApp group, the second case focuses on parenting advice circulated in the group during the Covid-19 pandemic. By comparing reprimands and advice, the authors suggest that speech acts reveal how expert discourse carries out forms of moralization that not only shape motherhood experiences but also differentiate them according to class, race, and territory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Access the <a href=\"https:\/\/anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/toc\/15481352\/2025\/53\/2\"><strong>full dossier.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A special issue of Ethos \u2013 Journal of the Society for Psychological Anthropology has just been published, featuring the dossier \u201cContested Parenting: Experts, Audiences, Selves,\u201d organized by Heike Drotbohm and Konstanze N\u2019Guessan.
