Jeremy Adam Smith is the author of The Daddy Shift, forthcoming from Beacon Press in June 2009; co-editor of The Compassionate Instinct, forthcoming from W.W. Norton & Co. in January 2010; and co-editor of Are We Born Racist?, which Beacon Press will publish in Spring 2010.

He is senior editor of Greater Good magazine, published by the U.C. Berkeley Greater Good Science Center. “Greater Good magazine offers the best coverage anywhere of the emerging science of empathy, altruism and compassion--plus the writing makes technical findings a pleasure to read about,” says Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence and Social Intelligence.

Jeremy is also the founder of Daddy Dialectic, a group blog that explores the experiences of twenty-first-century dads, which has earned praise from the Washington Post, Seattle Post-Intelligencer, and many corners of the blogosphere.

His essays, short stories, and articles on parenting, popular culture, urban life, and politics have appeared in AlterNet, The Nation, Mothering, Mothers Movement Online, Our Stories, Public Eye, San Francisco Bay Guardian, San Francisco Chronicle, Utne Reader, Wired, and numerous other periodicals and books, most recently the anthology Men Speak Out: Views on Gender, Sex and Power. Jeremy has also been interviewed by many media outlets, including The New York Times, USA Today, Nightline, The Forum with Michael Krasny, The Agenda with Steve Paikin, KPFA, Newhouse News Service, Toronto Star, SF Weekly, and Chicago Reader.

His book, The Daddy Shift, will tell the stories of fathers who have embraced caregiving and egalitarian marriages, explore the hopes and ideals that inform their choices, and analyze the economic and social developments that have made their choices possible. “Forty years ago, a man who wanted to share child-care equally with his wife would have been called 'deviant' and a wife who wanted him to would have been condemned as an 'unnatural' mother,” says Stephanie Coontz, historian and author of Marriage, a History: How Love Conquered Marriage. “The Daddy Shift shows how far we have come and how much we have to gain by completing this revolution in marriage and parenthood.” ...more
