Overview		CRFR Directors
The University of Edinburgh: We enjoy strong representation across a number Schools and Centres within the University, including Health in Social Sciences, Social and Political Sciences and Population Health Sciences. This provides a rich and diverse contribution to families and relationships research covering the care of older people; identity, intimacy, globalisation and personal life; childhood, participation, children’s rights and disability; child-parent relations, children’s health and well-being; reproductive health, inequalities in health and sociological understanding of health. The University has a long-tradition of sharing knowledge and engaging in public policy debates, and we are increasingly invited to collaborate with staff in providing specialist support in areas of knowledge exchange and impact.
