- This chapter is not strictly an interview, although, because we do ask one another questions and exchange views, it can read that way. We regard it as a dialogue between us, Jeff Hearn and Kopano Ratele, constituted from different texts and conversations, on several topics of mutual interest. Young men and masculinities are at the centre of the chapter, but our dialogue opens onto a wider set of interests relevant to the present book. The dialogue is grounded in a history of working together on transnational, Global North-South, collaborative projects which have included research, and co-editing a journal special issue and a book on engaging youth in activism. While our dialogue revolves around some of the key questions on young men and welfare, the broader aim also signals the use of conversation as a method in the making of personal, political, and intellectual identities. We begin with where our interests began, a history of sorts, before turning to where we are coming from, personally, politically, academically, then onto focusing on young men and masculinities, before discussing social welfare, social policy, and lifecourse as approaches to men, boys, and masculinities. We then engage on talking from and across our locations in the Global North and South. In the last two sections of the chapter, our conversation tackles current trends, key challenges, and future scenarios.

Divorced fathers in Sweden : Changed models of parenting and fatherhood
- 2022

Ingår i: Men and Welfare, Edited By Anna Tarrant, Linzi Ladlow, Laura Way. - London : Routledge. - 9781003178811

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This chapter re-examines two studies of divorced fathers that were conducted in Sweden in 1998 and in 2016. The two studies are used as key cases that serve to illuminate how ways of understanding and narrating fatherhood, childcare, and masculinity post-divorce change over time. During this period, parenting models for post-divorce parenting in Sweden changed, and the ‘half-each policy’ after a divorce became increasingly popular, leading to new living arrangements. While the ‘old model’, in which fathers become part-time parents after divorce, still prevailed, it was gradually replaced with a model and cultural narrative for post-divorce parenting whereby parents shared physical custody equally. Consequently, in the early 1990s, the model of physical custody tended to follow the every-other-weekend-and-school-holidays arrangement, whereas the latter cohort, from 2016, showed a greater variety in terms of residency models and reflexivity in relation to the notion of the new father.
