Helen Norman and Jennifer Tomlinson

Professor Jennifer Tomlinson speaks to Dr Helen Norman about Helen’s research on what enables or hinders fathers’ childcare involvement, and how ways of working and caring in a child’s pre-school years sets up a pattern of caregiving that persists as the child grows older. 

Dr Norman’s previous and current research, discussed in this episode, is funded by the Economic Social Research Council (ESRC).
