Travellin' Mama: Mothers, Mothering and Travel

This anthology will examine the diverse and complex experiences of motherhood and mothering from a broad, interdisciplinary perspective. We welcome submissions that explore how travelling influences the lives of mothers, especially in regard to cultural, political, historical, and economic factors. Further, we encourage writings that represent the relationships between mothering and travelling in a myriad of ways: mothers and their children; relationships of extended motherhood in various communities; perspectives of single mothers; and representations of motherhood from literary, biological, psychological, anthropological, sociological, criminological, socioeconomic, ethnic, and media perspectives. This incorporation of a variety of disciplines and methodologies will give insight into the issues on mothering within the context of travelling and provide a collection that recognizes the significance of mothering and travelling. The aim of this volume is to foster work on mothering that integrates the disciplines of feminist ideologies, literary criticism, and cultural analysis as well as represent the diversity of travelling. We hope to include a range of academic, narrative, and creative writing.
