Queer parenthood: It's multifaceted. It's complex. And it is
constantly changing, as laws and culture shift around us. What's in
a Name? reflects on this complexity through the voices of
nonbiological/non-gestational queer mothers/parents who explore our
experiences parenting across our different social and familial
locations. The authors have all taken different routes to
parenting, live in different countries, and understand our
relationships to parenting through our own personal experiences.
What we share is a commitment to parenting beyond the limits of
biology, and of building families that are drawn together and
maintained by the love and labour of parenting. The fifteen essays
in this book address three key moments in our parenting journeys.
First, we examine the routes we took to parenting, with many of us
specifically focusing on the experience of being the "other" mother
while our partners were pregnant, and the particular fears,
anxieties, and triumphs that come with it. Second, we locate
ourselves "in the thick of it" as parents, where the experiences
shared among parents are colored by our particular experiences as
nonbiological/non-gestational mothers/parents. Finally, we reflect
on our identities, including the identity of "mother," and how
those grow, shift, and develop throughout our parenting journeys.
The use of social media and blogging websites has become more
prevalent especially among young women; this trend suggests that
gender has the potential to coincide with one's actions and
engagement online. Despite this notable trend, there is still a
dearth of research on how women use the internet and how it affects
their health, families, and interpersonal relationships. Gender
Considerations in Online Consumption Behavior and Internet Use
considers the use of online technologies through the lens of
gender. From blogs dedicated to motherhood and infertility, to the
Movember men's health movement, gender identity is expressed in a
communitive way online. This book provides empirical evidence on
gender-specific internet usage and the feminine online experience.
It is a valuable resource for students, academicians, researchers,
technology developers, and government officials.
