| Summary | 'Parenting the Crisis' draws on original empirical and discursive research around parental pedagogy, and engages with key debates from across the disciplines of sociology, social policy, social psychology, media and cultural studies. It offers an important and timely critique of parenting culture, and an exposure of the ways in which 'parenting' so often as a concept conceals gendered and classed assumptions about parental care and competence. |
