Welcome back to the Untaming Podcast! It is currently the New Waking Moon Moon here in the Southern Hemisphere. Each episode of this third season will be released on the New and Full Moons. A 10 Questions in 10 Minutes episode will be released to coincide with the First & Last Quarter Moons.
Helen Ball is Professor of Anthropology and Director of the Durham Infancy & Sleep Centre. She obtained her PhD in Anthropology from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1992.
Helen studies infant sleep and the parent-infant sleep relationship from a biosocial perspective. Broadly defined, her research examines sleep ecology, of infants, young children and their parents. This encompasses attitudes and practices regarding infant sleep, behavioural and physiological monitoring of infants and their parents during sleep, infant sleep development, and the discordance between cultural sleep preferences and biological sleep needs.
