About Fathers: Masculinity and the Social Construction of Fatherhood

Naomi Rosh White

Department of Anthropology and Sociology Monash University

Little research has been conducted on men's definitions of themselves as fathers. This study is a preliminary exploration of the ways in which definitions of fatherhood are constructed and determined by personal experience within a social context. The study examines eleven men's understandings of what it means to be a father, their recollections of the fathering they received, and the intersection of these recollections with their definitions of themselves as fathers.
