Contemporary fatherhood is evolving
alongside the rapid changes in different societies. The Covid-19 pandemic has,
to a certain extent, put a spotlight on parental involvement in children's care
and education. In this research seminar, fatherhood scholars from the UK and
China will engage in the discussion of：
·
How fatherhood is conditioned and shaped by
historical, cultural, social and political contexts in different societies?
·
How could we challenge dominant gender discourses and
tackle gender stereotypes in contemporary parenting?
·
What is/will be the current/long-term impact of
Covid-19 pandemic on father involvement in children's care and education?

20 min Presentation of each speaker (incl. 2-3min
Q&A if needed);
20 min Panel discussion and Q&A;
5 min Conclusion (One key take-home message from
