Researching with Men: Ideas and Strategies for Doing Better , by David Mitchell and Philip Chapman. This article, posted on www.childforum.com , is a perspective from New Zealand on Men in Child Care, detailing and validating circumstances and experiences which are consistent other predominantly Western cultures.

The abstract for this research in part reads: "We draw on our recent New Zealand study of fathers' experience of child and family services to highlight key issues in conducting research that involves men as informants and concerns men as parents. The issues identified include recruitment of men, interpretation of men's voice and the impact of stereotypes and myths regarding fathering. From our experience of conducting the study and working on these issues we share a set of recommendations. We hope the ideas and strategies that were developed for addressing these issues will prove useful in providing some guidance for future research with men."--Jerry Speraw. Posted 5/13/06.

Men in the Nursery: Gender and Caring Work, by Clair Cameron, Peter Moss, and Charlie Owen. Paul Chapman Publishing Ltd., London (1999). 192 pp. $27.95

Although this book is the result of research conducted in Great Britain, parallels with the U.S. in regard to low male participation in the child care field are not surprising. Identification of similar issues makes this a valuable resource, and because its purpose is to address gender representation inequity, the authors "consider the case for employing more men and what steps might be taken to achieve a more mixed gender workforce."--Jerry Speraw
