Stefan Ramaekers

Stefan Ramaekers is Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor in the Laboratory for Education and Society at KU Leuven, Belgium. His recent research has mainly focused on a critical investigation of the discourse of ‘parenting’ and the parent-child relationship, and on the ‘pedagogical’ significance of educational support. He is the author of The Claims of Parenting: Reasons, responsibility, and society (2011, with Judith Suissa). He has recently started collaborating with Naomi Hodgson on researching figurations of ‘parenting’ in cultural representations, such as film.
