Please join us for a book launch event to (belatedly) mark the publication of Vanessa May’s book Families (2023, Polity). The book offers a timely intervention into current debates within family studies, discussing the shape of mainstream family studies today, and suggesting avenues of investigation that deserve further attention. Alongside broad social developments such as (post)colonialism and austerity and their connections with changing family patterns, the book engages with interdisciplinary work on time, embodiment and materiality in order to offer a multidimensional perspective on the day-to-day lives of families.
The event will feature a conversation between Vanessa May and Jennifer Mason. Together, they will explore the themes, inspirations, and creative processes behind the book Families.
The conversation will be followed by a drinks reception with some light refreshments. If you would like to attend, please sign up via the registration form link by 27 September 2024.
