Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, the learners will be able to:
- analyze how “good” and “bad” notions of motherhood have been constructed from historical, technological and psychoanalytic perspectives.
- analyze how myriad maternal fears can be fueled by media, expert discourse, and idealized racialized mothering, and be unconsciously communicated through caregiving.
- evaluate how technologies (e.g., virtual nannies, sleep apps, iPads, robotic toys etc) contribute to fantasies of omnipresent maternal care or abandonment, and can play into “double binds” for mothers.
