Long Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n

European national publics are diversifying. Governments often see this diversity as creating challenges with respect to the\u00a0fabric of national society, social cohesion, and the production of good future citizens. Simultaneously, in times of economic\u00a0crisis and neoliberal reforms many governments redefine their role vis-\u00e0-vis citizens and society, stressing citizens’\u00a0‘responsibility’, their ‘own strength’ and mutual aid. This panel examines how, against the background of these governmental\u00a0concerns, European welfare states attempt to produce good citizens. It does so by using the realm of parenting as its vantage\u00a0point, since this is the space where new citizens are most literally moulded, both in the intimate sphere of the family and in\u00a0public institutions.<\/p>\n

This panel invites papers that discuss how governmental agencies, such as schools and health care institutions, manage\u00a0parents through a range of policies, institutional arrangements and professional practices, and how various parents respond to\u00a0such attempts at governing. In what ways do various institutional actors attempt to govern and foster the production of future\u00a0citizens? What are the parental responses to governmental interactions and interventions related to their parenting? What\u00a0might be some of the unintended or corrosive consequences of these interventions at the level of intimate family relations, and\u00a0society more widely? By comparing cases from across Europe, this panel will provide insights into European welfare states’\u00a0attempts to raise their citizens in the context of diversifying national publics and neoliberal reforms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
