Synopsis
Sharp social satire on how experts study the child—and what it means for families.
This nonfiction collection deconstructs a booming field of child study, exposing how progress narratives, institutions, and media shape our ideas about parenting and uplift.
From the opening pages, the work questions who benefits when society declares a child its field of expertise. It explores a wide network—from schools and reformatories to journals and magazines—and asks who really gains from the so‑called uplift. The tone is ironic and deliberate, focusing on the premise that understanding a child should not come at the cost of parents’ voices or everyday family life.
This edition sheds light on the motives, methods, and costs behind a culture of child research, inviting readers to think critically about the balance between study, policy, and the lived reality of families.
- Understand how “the uplift” is framed and who it aims to benefit.
- Explore the methods researchers use to study children and families.
- Consider the role of parents and the question, “Where is Father?” within the movement.
Ideal for readers curious about social critique, parenting discourse, and the history of child study in contemporary society.
