My name is Chloë Cottrell, I am a PhD candidate at the French university François-Rabelais in Tours.
I am starting a study on young fathers rights in England since the seventies. The goal of this study is to give a voice to young fathers in Britain who, in my eyes, still do not have the visibility they deserve. For this study I would like to interview a number of young fathers, ranging from any age under 25, across England.
I am writing on here to see if there are any young fathers or people who know young fathers that would be interested in being part of the study.
The interview consists of around about 40 questions and will take place face to face, I am able to travel around the country so the young father will not have to travel.The interviews will be anonymous and confidential.
