Julie Anne Rodgers is Lecturer in French at Maynooth University. Her research (mainly in the field of French Studies) focuses on the production and reception of maternal counternarratives and incorporates the study of a wide range of mothering experiences that do not correspond to the normative, patriarchal script of motherhood. These include maternal ambivalence, postnatal and ongoing maternal depression, difficult pregnancies, and, of course, the choice to remain childfree. Julie has published widely on motherhood and mothering. Selected articles are as follows: mother-daughter relations in Francine Noel (Francofonia, 2009); the difficulty of exercising selfhood alongside motherhood in Ying Chen (International Journal of Canadian Studies, 2012); and voluntary childlessness in Lucie Joubert (Women: A Cultural Review, 2018). Julie has also published a chapter with Demeter Press on Lisa Baraitser and the ethics of maternal interruption in Mothering and Psychoanalysis (2014) edited by Petra Bueskens. In addition to her scholarship on motherhood and mothering, Julie is also mother to Harry, aged 4.
