Emotional Geographies Expectant Fathering

项目摘要

Recent decades have seen strong societal emphasis on quality father-child relationships due to its associations with positive child development (Expectant Fathers Programme 2013); such expectations on more intimate/emotionally-involved fathering has provoked research on fathering within Human Geography (Meah 2017; Aitken 2009). However, to date, there has been no geographic research on the geographies of expectant fathering- despite its significantly spatial nature and recognition that involvement during pregnancy can have positive implications for father-child bonding (Bond et al. 2010). Building on the author's previous research at Masters/undergraduate level- both dedicated to the geographies of fathering, respectively on the construction of relationships of love/intimacy and on how employed fathers balance work/home- the proposed research intends to examine the emotional geographies of expectant fathering. Specifically, it seeks to explore fathers' experiences of 'pregnancy' spaces; the changing geographies of 'everyday' spaces (particularly the home/workplace) and bonding relationships with the foetus, ultimately to demonstrate how expectant fathering is a profoundly emotional spatial practice.It is proposed that data be repeatedly collected via a mixed-method approach over the course of the pregnancy, from the first trimester to three-months after the birth. A cohort of fathers will be asked to engage in periodic in-depth interviews (possibly every six weeks); maintain solicited-diaries (Morrison 2012) for two-week intervals, as well as ethnographic 'go-alongs' and house-tours by the researcher. The proposed research will extend current geographic literature on fathering by critically demonstrating how, much like mothering, the emotional geographies of fathering transcend the birth of the child, which may have some significant implications for policy on inclusion/recognition of the role of expectant fathers, especially in clinical/workplaces.

近几十年来，社会高度重视高质量的父子关系，因为它与儿童的积极发展有关（准父亲计划2013）;这种对更亲密/情感参与的父亲的期望引发了对人类地理学中父亲的研究（Meah 2017; Aitken 2009）。然而，到目前为止，还没有关于准父亲的地理分布的地理研究-尽管它具有显著的空间性质，并且认识到怀孕期间的参与可能对父子关系产生积极影响（Bond et al. 2010）。作者以前的研究在硕士/本科水平的基础上-都致力于父亲的地理，分别对爱/亲密关系的建设和就业的父亲如何平衡工作/家庭-拟议的研究旨在研究的情感地理的准父亲。具体来说，它试图探索父亲的经验，'怀孕'的空间;“日常”空间的地理变化（特别是家庭/工作场所）和与胎儿的关系，最终证明如何期待父亲是一个深刻的情感空间的做法。它建议，数据重复收集通过一个混合的方法在怀孕过程中，从怀孕前三个月到产后三个月。一组父亲将被要求定期进行深入访谈（可能每六周一次）;保持两周的邀请日记（莫里森2012），以及研究人员的民族志“同行”和房屋参观。拟议的研究将扩展目前的地理文献上的父亲，批判性地展示如何，很像母亲，父亲的情感地理超越了孩子的出生，这可能有一些重大的影响政策纳入/承认的角色，准父亲，特别是在临床/工作场所。
