Informationen zum Autor Marotte, Mary Ruth Klappentext It is not easy raising a family and balancing work and personal commitments in academia! regardless of gender. The diverse contributors in Papa! PhD seek to expand their children's horizons! giving them the gifts of better topic sentences and a cosmopolitan sensibility. They consider the implications of gender theory and queer theory-even Marxist theory-and make relevant theoretical connections between their work and the less abstract! more pragmatic! world of fathering. What resonates is the astonishing range of forms that fatherhood can take as these dads challenge traditional norms by actively questioning the status quo.
