Organised by the Centre for Research on Families and Relationships and the

University of Edinburgh’s School of Social and Political Science (SPS).

For our sixth international conference, we will explore how families and personal relationships are implicated in a range of intersections: both as systems through which oppression may circulate, and as sites of resistance and transformation. Leading social theorist and activist Patricia Hill Collins will open our conference, providing the platform for an exciting and vibrant dialogue on how intersectionality, past and present, can deepen our understandings of families and relationships and the power relations within.

Patricia Hill Collins -Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Maryland and former President of the American Sociological Association.

Ann Phoenix - Professor of psychosocial studies at the Institute of Education, University College London.
