Hosted by the Children and Families Research Centre at the UNiversity of Bristoln

The last few decades have witnessed enormous social, political, cultural, economic, and environmental transformations at local, national, and global levels.

These changes have encompassed all spheres, including that of the family. It is this intersection between recent societal transformations and family life, especially as they relate to childhoods and children’s lives that the inaugural International Child and Family Conference, hosted by the University of Bristol (UK), seeks to explore.

In particular, it aims to illuminate the various ways in which these broad shifts that have occurred at national or global levels have had an impact on childhoods and children’s everyday lives within the context of families and communities in locales in both the Global North and the Global South as well at the level of international law and global social policy.
 
To explore these global shifts and transformations and their impact on childhoods and children’s lives within the sphere of families and communities from different disciplinary perspectives we welcome paper, panel and poster submissions that relate to the following themes. 

Abstract submission deadline: 31 October 2024
