Lecturer in Sociology, University of York

Dr Patricia Hamilton is a lecturer in Sociology at the University of York. Drawing on parenting culture studies and black feminist theory, her work examines reproduction and parenting from the perspective of black families and other marginalised groups. Her book Black Mothers and Attachment Parenting was published in 2020. She is currently working on two projects: 1) an intersectional feminist analysis of parenting leave policies in the UK since the 1970s, and 2) pilot research examining the intersection of blackness and assisted reproductive technologies.
