Seminar: "Doing gendered and classed motherhood: The experiences of academic women in Greece"
S2.77

The Centre for Education Studies, in association with the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender, is pleased to welcome Dr Maria Tsouroufli (University of Wolverhampton) to present:

Doing gendered and classed motherhood: The experiences of academic women in Greece

Feminist scholarship has raised consciousness about the material conditions associated with motherhood and the male-dominated ideology in shaping the social construction of motherhood. Theories of late modernity on the other hand have emphasized liberation from structures and institutions in post-industrial and post-traditional societies, which allow for reflexively creative maternal subjects with endless possibilities and choices. However, the enduring significance of gender and how it intersects with class in the organisation of parenting, domestic, and professional work has been obscured in contemporary post-feminist and neo-liberal contexts. This paper examines how academic women conceptualize, enact and reconfigure motherhood within the patriarchal Greek society, and the classed and gendered strategies they adopt to reconcile ‘good’ motherhood with notions of the ‘good’ doctor/academic professional.

This seminar is co-hosted by the Centre for Education Studies and the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender.
