A week-long, mini-conference exploring families in the UK. Curated by our Topic Champion for Families, Professor Brienna Perelli-Harris, the week will focus on research on families and partnerships.
You can find all the abstracts for this mini-conference on our scientific conference website.
Day one of our mini-conference features research on non-resident families.
Taking place online, the conference will run each afternoon from the 22-26 March. The conference is free to attend, but you do need to register in advance. Your conference ticket allows you in to the conference each day, so you can pick and choose which sessions you want to attend – or come along to all of them.
