Biography

Making Contemporary Familes

Associate Professor JaneMaree Maher is investigating the challenges faced by parents and mothers in particular as they care for their children.

JaneMaree has a long standing interest in how work and family can be integrated. She argues that new patterns of women's employment are creating significant challenges as inflexible working conditions abound. “The introduction of parental leave is only the first step in a commitment to make workplaces work for families.”

JaneMaree is also investigating the social and cultural pressure that parents, particularly mothers, are under to keep their children from becoming obese. This is important because current intervention programs and approaches, according to the Australian Government’s Productivity Commission, have proven to be ineffective.

“I’m deeply interested in the ways that women respond to the very stressful messages as they try to raise healthy children. The public discourse has quite strong undertones of blame, and criticism, and stigma, which ignores the fact that women do great work every single day caring for their children, often in incredibly difficult circumstances.”

JaneMaree argues that we need to move away from a one-size-fits-all message to parents in how they should manage their children’s diets, as well as blaming parents that fail. Rather, we should recognise how hard mothers in particular are trying in terms of healthy eating and should focus more carefully on the socioeconomic inequalities that compromise parents’ ability to make and act on informed health-related decisions for their children.

JaneMaree credits much of the direction of these projects, and her other work, to Monash University’s culture of collaboration.

“Although some aspects of research productivity are quite individual, a lot depends on the context in which you find yourself, and the colleagues with which you can work. Good things come from those human interactions, and I feel like I have been really lucky to be able to be here, and to do that wtih fabulous fellow scholars.”
