Day three of our Changing Families mini-conference features research on housework and gender.
You can find all the abstracts for this mini-conference on our scientific conference website.
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.
