A Father's Day radio show

I recently received an email from Dr Peter Weller of CariMAN informing of a radio show he and journalist/activist Owen Blakka Ellis will be presenting on an internet radio program discussing masculinity and fatherhood for Father's Day 2014 - please tune in :

Sunday, Fathers Day at 12:30 EDT/Trini time.

It promises to be stimulating and provocative!

This blog is the extroverted twin of a PhD project on fatherhood and masculinities in Dominica. It aims to engage anthropologists & non-anthropologists, fathers & non-fathers, Dominicans and non-Dominicans with all things related to being a man and dad in the West Indies (and beyond).

Fathermen has been set up to inform those who may be interested about some of the diverse themes and issues that intersect the project. Videos, articles, short essays, poetry, photos and links to events (amongst other things) are likely to feature. However, Fathermen seeks not only to provide information, but to open up debate. The author of this blog is of the belief that all humans possess anthropological faculties. In other words, all of us have the capacity to reflect upon, enquire about and ask questions of the social worlds that surround us.... so I hope the entries of Fathermen will be critiqued, commended and interrogated by readers in the comments boxes of each post. Such emergent conversations will hopefully result in a healthier and more publicly grounded project.

Fathermen is a blog by Adom Philogene Heron, a doctoral research student in social anthropology at the University of St Andrews phd profile
