Short Abstract
This panel assembles papers on parenting interventions, i.e.
institutionalized measures aiming
at re-educating parents, specifically in transcultural, transnational or
minoritarian settings. It
focuses on the political and affective dynamics, patterns, and conflicts
involved in these
interventions.
Long Abstract
In the last decades, governmental institutions and non-governmental
organizations have
intensified their attention to parents and families, aiming at supporting,
educating, or reeducating
them with regard to child-rearing. Such parenting interventions are
particularly
challenging if they are embedded in transcultural, transnational or
minoritarian settings affected
by migrations, displacement, conditions of structural violence and
segregation. In such settings,
they deal with diverging parenting models that cannot be easily ascribed to
individual hardships
or the lack of capacities. Notwithstanding such social and cultural
diversity, pedagogies tend to
be highly normative, geared towards determining best ways of child-rearing.
Thus, interactions
between educational institutions and parents with dissimilar pedagogic
standards and
understandings, are prone to misapprehensions, frictions and conflicts.
Finally, such
interactions have political implications that need to be addressed.
This panel assembles contributions on the flourishing but rarely studied
field of parenting
interventions, focusing both on the political and affective dynamics,
patterns, and tensions that
shape (and arise in) these interactions. Contributions may pertain to one
of the three following
settings:
a) Institutions such as kindergartens, schools or organizations of family
assistance dealing with
migrant families or national minorities, many times aligning parenting
practices with their
pedagogical standards.
b) Institutions or media programs aiming at "modernizing" the parenting
practices, often by
appropriating and propagating pedagogies from other, more industrialized
countries.
c) Institutions, e.g. IGOs or NGOs that operate on an international level,
pursuing an agenda of
"improving" parenting around the world, often by fostering what is called
"positive parenting".
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
COCOA AND CONTACT DETAILS
To login to Cocoa, go to the conference website and click on Login (top
left corner of the page) using your name and date of birth when prompted.
Most of you will quickly proceed past your contact details (for those using
a small screen, the "Proceed" button is under your personal details), but
first please note a couple of points:
- the name field can take the full range of accented characters. Simply
paste these in from a word processor, and then your name can be correctly
represented on the website and in the conference programme;
- what you place in the 'Institution' field will be what shows on the
public panel page and on your conference badge. Give this some thought: if
it's too long it won't fit on the badge; if it's too cryptic, no-one will
know where you work, etc.
How you are represented is under your control; we often get emails asking
us to alter the data visible on the panel page. We always advise delegates
to log in and make the changes themselves to make sure it gets corrected in
the right way.
