The Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR) is holding their 3rd International Conference on 16th-18th June 2010 entitled Changing Families in a Changing World.
We live in times of enormous change on personal and global levels. Families are more diverse and more likely to change, with divorce, separation, stepfamilies, international adoption, increased life expectancy in some parts of the world and decreased in others, and a growing divide between rich and poor at local and global levels all becoming more prevalent. At the same time global recession, uncertainty about the impact of environmental degradation and increase religious and civil unrest provide a changing backdrop against which families live their lives.
What happens to families in this changing word? How do they deal with the way in which global changes impact upon their lives? What do we know about these changes and how they play out in and across different parts of the globe?
CRFR’s international conference will address these issues and invites paper and workshop proposals.
