Speaker: Ellie Lee, Working with Brands and Making Money
On the Working with Brands and Making Money panel – in addition to featuring bloggers who earn and brands who work with bloggers – we wanted to consider the relative “value” of parent bloggers’ opinions and also how their content affects the conversations society has about parenting. To help us cast a wider thematic net, we’ve asked sociologist Ellie Lee to be on the panel.
Ellie is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Social Policy, Sociology and Social Research at the University of Kent, England. She is Director of the Centre for Parenting Culture Studies, based in the School. She worked previously as a Research Fellow at the University of Southampton. She has published studies about abortion, contraception, teenage pregnancy, and motherhood, and her research addresses the sociological themes of the construction of social problems and the process of medicalization. Her published work includes the monograph Abortion, Motherhood and Mental Health: The Medicalization of Reproduction in the U.S. and Britain (2003, Aldine Transaction), and papers in journals includingSociology of Health and Illness, Health, Risk and Society, Sociological Research On-line and International Journal of Law, Policy and the Family. She is currently working on studies about infant feeding, alcohol and pregnancy, the provision of assisted conception services, abortion counselling, and parenting policy.
You can catch Ellie and the rest of the panel in CyberMummy 1 at morning session II, 12:30 to 13:15.
