About
Dr Charlotte Faircloth is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow, based at the University of Kent, working on 3-year a project entitled ‘Parenting: Gender, Intimacy and Equality’. She completed her PhD at the Department of Social Anthropology at the University of Cambridge, which explored women’s experiences of attachment parenting and ‘full-term’ breastfeeding in London and Paris. She was Mildred Blaxter post-doctoral research fellow with the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness, during which she completed her book Militant Lactivism? Infant Care and Maternal Identity Work in the UK and France, which is in publication with Berghahn Books. She is interested cultures of parenthood; notions of body, gender and equality in care-giving and its implication for other relationships; and more broadly in knowledge claims around optimal forms of care.
