DESCRIPTION:In my latest book\, I explored the many ways families are aff
 ected by the interrelations between globalization and borders\, and the 
 key role of the law in shaping these globordered families’ creation\, pr
 actices\, and breakdown. The Covid-19 crisis provides a fascinating oppo
 rtunity to revisit these families. In my talk\, I will present findings 
 from my current study (funded by the ISF)\, on struggles of different ty
 pes of globordered families against Covid-regulation – binational couple
 s\; families created by transnational surrogacy\; multi-generational fam
 ilies separated by a national border\; and\, families assisted by a migr
 ant worker for the care of an elder parent and the migrants’ left behind
  families. These case studies highlight how common and important\, yet l
 egally vulnerable\, globordered families are\, and how resilient and leg
 ally creative many of these families members are. Furthermore\, their st
 ruggles during the pandemic\, provide valuable lessons regarding the way
  the law should be shaped so to allow globordered familiality to thrive.
  I would argue that at the heart of the dramatic legal change needed\, s
 hould be a new broader understanding of “the family”\, and a new spatial
  and temporal understating of “the right to family life”.\n\nDaphna Hack
