From Alpha Male to
Nurturing Father: How Childbirth Affects Dads
Richard Reed
“Men are faced with a curious dilemma.
Many characteristics of the contemporary dad (warm, caring and present)
conflict with our stereotypes of American masculinity. Nevertheless,
American men are among the most nurturing of fathers. How do men make
the transition to fatherhood? Richard Reed suggests that childbirth
provides a contemporary ritual for the initiation of fathers.”
12:00 Noon - VATC 120
Film: Visitors of the Night (34 minutes)
This documentary explores the world of
the Mosou, an isolated and matrilineal tribe in the mountains of South
West China. In this society men and women do not have economic
obligations to one another, and their relationships are based on love
only. As tradition and modernity clash in this increasingly touristic
area, outsiders sometimes misunderstand the Mosou’s unique, polyandric
relationships as prostitution.

Recovery can visit the website http://www.ride2recovery.com/ for
