Navigating Contemporary Fatherhood in Europe

Care and Involvement in Everyday Life

About this book

Drawing on extensive empirical research, this book examines paternal involvement in caregiving practices and asks what is currently happening to 'involved' fatherhood?

The book investigates fatherhood in various everyday settings, such as outdoor spaces, workplaces and the home, while considering the influence of policy frameworks across different European countries. By analysing fathers' experiences and the impact of policy on familial roles, it provides fresh insights into the concept of 'involvement' and progression towards practices of more equitable fatherhood.

Encouraging new thinking on paternal engagement, this is a critical look at how fatherhood is navigated, negotiated and understood within diverse cultural and policy contexts in everyday life.
