Janet Fink
Janet Fink is Senior Lecturer in Social Policy in the Faculty of Social Sciences at The Open University. Her research is focused on mid-20th century Britain, exploring how family relationships and practices were constructed in policy and legislation and represented in popular culture. She is particularly interested in how these constructions and representations are used and negotiated in film and photography. Her work also has a comparative perspective and she is exploring the development of family policy through the 20th century in the UK, Sweden and Denmark. She has published in both these areas and is an editor of Red Feather: An International Journal of Children's Visual Culture.
