Short description:
In an age of migration and mobility not only do many facets of contemporary family life take place against the backdrop of intensified movement in its various forms, but the practices of families themselves are deeply embedded in such movements. This conference seeks to 'make sense' of the challenges this poses for families and for academic, empirical and policy understandings of family life in Europe and beyond.
Three key themes frame the conference:
1) Multi-local family lives in national and transnational contexts
2) The globalisation of reproduction and social reproduction across the family-life cycle
3) National, supranational and transnational policies and laws relating to family life in an age of migration and mobility
