RADICAL MOTHERING IN EUROPE

The Radical Mothering Research Collective was founded in 2023 by Sarah Werner Boada and Patricia Hamilton to give space to everyday acts of mothering which defy modern/coloniality in Europe. The Collective understands mothering as performed by a diversity of people regardless of reproductive role or gender identity.

The conference is intended to be inclusive and accessible to all. We value children’s interruptions and disruptive power and they are welcome in all spaces. A room with a fridge is available in Space 4 for babies, children, and chest/breastfeeding participants. We kindly ask all in-person attendees to refrain from using perfume out of consideration for people with sensory processing sensitivity.

This event was made possible with the generous support of the Department of Sociology, the Centre for the Study of Women and Gender and the Institute of Advanced Study, all at the University of Warwick, the Department of Sociology (University of York) and the British Sociological Association.
