Dr Rose Mortimer's DPhil research is an empirical ethics study of parenting support delivered within a UK prison mother and baby unit (MBU). Through a combination of interviews, focus groups, and participant observation, she explores the 'moral world' of the MBU.
In this talk, she will examine how the dual values of justice and care shape the ways in which parenting support is understood, delivered and experienced in the context of relationships between mums and staff members in a prison environment, exploring the ways in which parenting support can be a form of care, but also of control.
