Description: This course examines the experiences of mothering parents who do not fit prevailing ideals of “good” motherhood – mothers who are absent, single, young, sick. Together, we will experiment with engaged reading and writing practices as we explore cultural texts and essays from the fields of sociology, history, philosophy, and others.
