Call for Papers: Workshop on Family Diversity and Social Inequality

Recent changes in family formation around the globe intersect with the complex fabric of social inequality. This workshop adopts a global perspective on the topic of family diversity and social inequality. It focuses on how growing family diversity (such as an increase in singleparenthood, step- and same-sex families) is related to cultural and social factors.

The Hertie School, European University Institute (EUI), Sciences Po, London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), and Bocconi University, as part of the CIVICA network, would like to invite PhD students and Postdocs who work on the topic for a two half days workshop.

Deadline for submission of abstracts: 25 March 2024
