Using Skype to mother : bodies, emotions, visuality, and screens
This research examines how seeing one’s child or children as part of the communication affects mothers’ feelings towards their children. Through the example of group of mothers in Hamilton, New Zealand using Skype, it reveals that the dwelling
places of bodies are no longer just rooms in homes where mothers, and children’s flesh and emotions rub up against each other on a daily basis but screens across which voices and, even more importantly, images are shared. It also demonstrates that ‘seeing
’ their child or children enables them to assess their children’s well-being more accurately. In this way the computer screen, as object, by portraying moving visual images, is ‘reorientating’ mothers’ and children’s bodies offering a seemingly closer physical

Any advice is welcome isn’t it?” : neoliberal parenting education, local mothering cultures, and social class
This paper explores the attitudes of parents of different social class positions to parenting education, in particular sociospatial English contexts. It reveals the importance of local class-based cultures of mothering in influencing both
