Historian Augustine Sedgewick examines how the meaning of fatherhood has shifted throughout human history.

Fatherhood and masculinity are being redefined in the 21st century, and for young dads, this means paving an entirely new path forward.

Millennial and Gen Z fathers spend more time with their children than any generation before them, taking on roles that were historically considered feminine.

Augustine Sedgewick is a historian, author, and father known for his highly acclaimed 2020 book, Coffeeland, and his research on the global history of capitalism, work, food, and family.

In his 2025 book, Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power, Sedgewick looks at the lives of prominent historical figures like Aristotle and Thomas Jefferson to understand how fatherhood has changed throughout history.
