INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE
COMMUNITY, WORK AND FAMILY:
CHANGE AND TRANSFORMATION

@ The Weston Building, Manchester Conference Centre, Sackville Street,
Manchester, U.K.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Deadline for submission of abstracts 30th September 2004
Website: www.mmu.ac.uk/cwfconference
The links between community, work and family have generated widespread
interdisciplinary and global interest and now constitute an important area
of
study in the social sciences, with major implications for a range of
professionals and policy makers. This international conference is organized
by
the global editorial team of the journal Community, Work and Family and
hosted
by the Research Institute of Health and Social Change at Manchester
Metropolitan University. The conference will provide a forum for social
scientists and practitioners to share research, experiences and ideas and to
stimulate debate on current issues and controversies relating to community,
work and family and their interface. Given the pervasiveness and speed of
change and experiences of shifting boundaries in communities, workplaces and
families, there will be a particular focus on ongoing and future change and
transformations, from multiple perspectives.
