This book considers the identity of the motherscholar, a mother who draws from their practice of mothering to inform their art and scholarship and from their scholarship to inform how they mother.

By considering the identity of the motherscholar the contributors from Canada, Finland, India, New Zealand, and the USA work to reconceptualize feminist approaches to childhood research and uncover formerly invisibilized public pedagogies of childhood. Through theoretical research, visual art, stories and oral histories, the contributors explore how their fused identities affect and multiply structural and interpersonal transformation in homes, in communities, and in pedagogical spaces. They describe a mother as a self-identifying or non-binary person with caregiving responsibilities including but not limited to biological mothers, adoptive mothers, stepmothers, alloparents, grandmothers, mothers who are childless, mothers who are grieving, and mothers who are experiencing infertility.

The contributors from the Canada, Finland, India, and the USA work to reconceptualize feminist approaches to childhood research

Drawing on feminist scholarship, this boundary-pushing series explores the use of creative, experimental, new materialist and posthumanist research methodologies that address various aspects of childhood. Feminist Thought in Childhood Research foregrounds examples of research practices within feminist childhood studies that engage with posthumanism, science studies, affect theory, animal studies, new materialisms and other post-foundational perspectives that seek to decentre human experience. Books in the series offer lived examples of feminist research praxis and politics in childhood studies. The series includes authored and edited collections - from early career and established scholars - addressing past, present and future childhood research issues from a global context.
