Professor Michael Dowdy publishes Tell Me About Your Bad Guys

Professor Michael Dowdy published Tell Me About Your Bad Guys: Fathering in Anxious Times. This collection of essays understands "fathering not as an ironclad identity or a cohesive story but as a process of trial and error, self-reflection, and radical openness. With measures of dark humor, the essays take seriously the literary, material, and political stakes of fathering and in doing so challenge patriarchal norms and one-dimensional accounts of fatherhood."
