| Abstracts
and workshop proposals are invited which address the conference themes • Globalisation, care chains and work-family balance • Migration and transnational families • Transnational adoption • Families and the changing life course: childhood, middle and older age • Recession and impact on partnering, family building, intergenerational relationships and everyday family life. • Development and family change in the majority world • Impact of internet technologies, new technologies or commercialisation on family and personal relationships • Families and environment issues • Open streams - other papers addressing conference themes Abstracts Abstracts should be 250 words long and submitted via our online abstract form or on the downloadable application form to be emailed to l.marshall@ed.ac.uk. Abstracts should identify the focus of the paper, the questions it will answer and the evidence or data on which it will draw. Abstracts will be chosen for the conference and notified as outlined in the timetable below. Presenters will be expected to provide copies of their papers in advance of the conference to be included in a CD for those attending. Publication We are hoping to publish and edited collection from this conference in the Palgrave Macmillan series 'Family and Intimate Life'. If you would like your paper to be considered for this publication please indicate on your abstract submission. Workshop proposals Workshops should be closely related to the conference themes, and allow more in-depth discussion of issues. The proposal should clearly indicate the topic to be explored, and how discussion will be facilitated. Workshops drawing on policy and practice expertise, and opening up dialogue across the research, policy, practice divide are particularly encouraged. Workshops should provide a contrast to paper presentation sessions through a more discursive approach to the subject matter and thought should be given to including the participants’ expertise. Workshop proposals should be submitted via our online workshop submission form or on a downloadable application form to be emailed to l.marshall@ed.ac.uk. A timetable for submission and notification is outlined below. Practicalities All those whose workshop proposals or abstracts are accepted are expected to book a place at the conference and pay the delegate fee. (There are a few subsidised places available – please contact us for details). Co-presenters are also required to register and pay the fee. All paper presentations will have access to PowerPoint.
