Family Troubles? Exploring Changes and Challenges in the Family Lives of

As the everyday family lives of children and young people come to be
increasingly defined as matters of public policy and concern, it is
important to raise the question of how we can understand the contested
terrain between 'normal' family troubles and troubled and troubling
families. This inter-disciplinary two day colloquium aims to promote
dialogue between researchers addressing mainstream family change and
diversity in everyday lives, and those specialising in specific problems
which prompt specialist interventions, and to consider the implications for
policy makers, service users and practitioners.
