Abstract
The second empirical chapter centralises the voices of fathers to articulate what being a father entails for them. This chapter focuses on aspirations and ambitions towards fatherhood and examines the main influences on these aspirations. I outline the theoretical implications of viewing fatherhood as a series of practices and my interest in the enactment and negotiation of good fatherhood. In so doing I address the following questions: What does fatherhood come to mean in practice? By whom, where and through what practices is good fatherhood defined? Whose or what interests are emphasised?
