This book is about milk, bodies, touch, and the messy entanglements of care. It’s the first in a series drawn from my doctoral research into public breastfeeding through design practice — a subject often overlooked or misunderstood.
Based on generous, powerful conversations with activists, parents, and practitioners, Bodies and Feelings weaves together themes of embodiment, relationality, and resistance. It explores what happens when we centre lived experience — not to resolve complexity, but to hold it.
This research listens with the whole body. That lets discomfort in. That believes design has a responsibility here.
Listen in.
The audio version of Bodies and Feelings offers another way in. Read in my voice, this version brings tone, emphasis, and affect into the foreground — because feelings matter, and language lands differently when it’s heard.
This is about more than accessibility (though that matters). It’s about tuning in to the emotional weight of care, to the textures of voice, to the humanness of research.
