What we should know about mother*hood and becoming parents
Monday, May 13th - 10:00 to 10:50 AM
Presentation language: German
This event will take place online.
In this presentation, the multifaceted, often unconscious or unspoken aspects of mother*hood and becoming parents are explored and contextualized within the broader societal framework.
The concept of "maternal* identity" is elucidated, highlighting how becoming a mother* entails similar challenges and developmental processes as puberty. Additionally, common myths surrounding mother*hood are debunked, and there is critical reflection on the expectations imposed on parents in our society.
Elena's presentation offers a fresh perspective on the topic and encourages discussion about societal norms and gender roles. At the end, there will be time for questions and exchange.
