Gender and Social Change in Developing Regions: Managing obligations to children in separated families Seminar

Description

Divorce and parental separation is an intensely private event affecting the lives of many people, yet it sets up many challenges for the state as well as for families. Over the last 50 years, it has transformed the normative trajectory of family life in many western democracies and is now on the increase in many East Asian and developing countries. This ESRC seminar aims to debate the impact of family breakdown on the gendered expectations of parenting, working and caring in separated families. Convened by Dr Christine Skinner from the University of York and Dr Sirin Sung from Queen's University Belfast.
