Reflecting on 10 years of Maternal Studies

In this short piece, I reflect on a decade of maternal studies and consider where maternal studies are urgently needed in the next decade. Drawing on my entry into and experiences of maternal studies, I consider three areas of importance: the maternal and the psychosocial, the maternal and popular culture, and the maternal and social inequalities. Following reflections on how these areas have strengthened various lines of inquiry in my work, and expanded academic explorations more generally, I end by considering where now for maternal studies.
