How Modern Family And Parenthood Represent Equal Parenting: A Feminist Discourse, Samantha B. Coffin
How Modern Family And Parenthood Represent Equal Parenting: A Feminist Discourse, Samantha B. Coffin

Parenthood has strong examples of equal parenting, but remains more conservative …

The production of research is integral for gaining the knowledge and understanding to interpret the phenomena that occurs in everyday life. Historically, both research and knowledge have been under the control of the West while at the same time marginalizing minority groups.
