Joanna is a cultural historian, lecturer and writer. Her first book, MILK: An Intimate History of Breastfeeding will be published in January 2023 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson. Part memoir, part social and cultural history, the book is an expansive yet intimate exploration of how we feed our babies.
Joanna's talk, Intimate Histories of Breastfeeding, explores how feelings of (dis)comfort and parental (in)visibility can be produced, experienced, and made sense of.
It was presented as part of Feeding Futures, a one-day event exploring some of the complex attitudes towards how we feed our babies.
