4th International Conference
John McIntyre Conference Centre
University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom
June 10-12, 2013
The 4th international conference, hosted by CRFR, will explore ways in which
research on and with children, families and relationships have been developed
in new and innovate ways in recent years.
Themes could include:
• How have researchers met difficult theoretical, substantive or ethical challenges?
• How have methods been taken forward in the digital age and in the context
of unequal access to resources across the globe?
• How have participatory, sensory and visual methods been developed?
• What have we learned from new approaches to the challenges of time and the
life course?
• Where are the key innovations in understanding transnational families and
relationships, international comparison and addressing minority (rich, high
carbon footprint) and majority (poor, low carbon footprint) worlds?
• How can we address issues of inequalities, especially where these intersect?
• How are researchers analysing the part played by families and relationships in
big ‘global’ issues such as climate change?
Conference fee
The full conference fee (not including accommodation) is £325. A small number of subsidised places are available at £125 - restricted to unfunded PhD students/voluntary organisations/individuals with little or no funding.
If you wish to apply for one of these places please contact Laura Marshall
Call for abstracts
Addressing the above themes, we are interested in abstracts across the whole life-course including abstracts that address childhood, older age, families without children and people living on their own.
