Lessons from Grandfather
Philosophies, 2022
Assume that, even with a time machine, you do not have the ability to travel to the past and kill your grandfather. Why would that be? And what are the implications for traditional debates about freedom?

Men's Experiences of Grandfatherhood: A Welcome Surprise
The International Journal of Aging and Human Development, 2014
The present-day involvement of men in many facets of childrearing stands in contrast to previous eras when men accepted that the major task of fathering was to provide a secure income to support the family. This imperative often required long hours away from the family. However, when men whose contact with children has been limited due to work and cultural constraints retire, their newly acquired lifestyle may bring fresh opportunities for involvement with grandchildren. An important question therefore concerns the impact of caring for young children on men's perceptions of their role as grandfathers. This interview study explores the experiences of 19 Australian grandfathers. The analysis found themes that relate to relationships and change, as well as themes concerning core beliefs and existential questions. The findings demonstrate the potential for insight into family relationships and personal growth in older age when studying the topic of grandparenting and caring from the...

Grandmother Rules: Crucial Conversations with Patients and Families
The Heart Surgery Forum, 2017
I matriculated at the same medical school from which my father graduated 22 years earlier. This coincidence gave me the opportunity to use his advice, based on his experiences as a student, to seek out some of the school’s best and most memorable teachers.
“An Extraordinarily Pernicious Influence”: The Discursive Figure of the Spoiling Grandmother before 1937
Journal of Family History, 2019
Discourses about the dangers of spoiling children and images of grandparents came together in nineteenth-century literature, with the literary figure of the spoiling grandmother emerging as familiar cultural currency. From there, it would become a concern for the generation of psychoanalysts after Freud, for whom the grandmother represented a dangerous supplement to the importance of the mother for a child’s psychological development. The literary and the psychological uses of the figure of the spoiling grandmother then intersected in scientific and popular guidance for parents in the battle for authority regarding the right way to engage in childcare.
A Word on a Father
2021
How does it feel like to be a descendant of a prominent person? Obviously, this is not only a great honor, a kind of a godsend, but also a big responsibility. It is extremely important to preserve the legacy of your own ancestors, carefully carrying on this precious treasure – because they would like it the most.
A Líbia de Heródoto
Coimbra University Press, 2024
Resumo: Neste capítulo, analisamos o relato de Heródoto sobre a Líbia, que compreendia um terço do mundo. Através da narrativa do historiador heleno, buscamos informações importante sobre a geografia, cultura e povos da Líbia, contextualizando a visão helena em relação aos “outros”. A obra de Heródoto desempenha um papel fundamental na historiografia grega e no estudo das interações culturais do Norte da África. Abstract: In this chapter, we analyze Herodotus’s account of Libya, which comprised one‑third of the world. Through the narrative of the Hellenic historian, we seek important information about the geography, culture, and peoples of Libya, offering context to the Hellenic perspective of the “others”. Herodotus’s work remains essential for Greek historiography and the study of cultural interactions in North Africa.
“Gramps! Did you read the news? Last week a team of scuba divers found a sunken U-587 off the coast of Norway with 62 DEAD NAZIS trapped inside. And you know what they did? Left them there to rot!”
The thing I miss the most about my grandfather is watching the way his eyes would change color and shape and form into two glistening round pools of clear cerulean blue, whenever something fascinated him, piqued his brilliant mind’s interest or left him thirsty with curiosity to know more, as much as possible – know it all. The same way people occasionally tell me mine look now. Because now it’s just me, here, alone, and having to a secret shared only amongst oneself is one of the loneliest feelings in the world. Only my grandfather and I knew that no matter how many hours we spent in the woods collecting fossils, or how many dozens of hours we spent staring all sorts of diseased cells under his microscope while he taught me the art of pathology – our eyes would only change as I watched him shrink as I drove away in the third seat of my parents station wagon.
“Nazis? I HATE Nazis! Fuck Hitler! You always have the best news to share with me, Kyle. You have always been my favorite –”
All I heard was a SNAP before my laptop screen went black. And now I know that feeling in my gut was my gut feeling that that would be the last time I would ever see my grandfather in my life. Because it was.
I don’t like scary movies, I don’t like horror stories. Since that day, whenever I hear the term ‘horror story’ – I have watched that same seen playing over and over again on repeat in my brain until it brought me to my knees in tears. I have had to watch that over and over again, a thousand million times over the last 5 years, in order to get through writing this now.
I laugh as a cry because I think of my grandfather watching the gobs of snot spewing out of my nostrils onto my wireless keyboard from heaven, and the way my first instinct is to ameliorate the situation by blowing a snot rocket…onto my bedroom floor. It’s my forest now, where I go and hide alone for hours and think of all the ways he was my favorite too – until I feel every hair follicle on my entire body stand at its end. That’s how I know he’s with me, thinking of his own ways, too.
