Esther Dermott
Esther Dermott is a Reader in the Department of Sociology, Politics and International Studies at the University of Bristol. Esther's research is on intimacy and family life, work, and poverty and inequality. Her book Intimate Fatherhood (2008) challenges the dominance of the breadwinning ideal, argues for the rise of 'intimate fatherhood'; and sets out a new framework for thinking about men's parenting. Her edited book Displaying Families (with Julie Seymour) (Palgrave 2011) examines current themes in the theorisation of personal/ family life focusing on the significance of credibility and audience in family practices. Her most recent writing has included commentaries on the relationship between parenting and poverty, and work-life balance; interrogating commonplace, political and policy views of parenting.
