In this seminar we showcase research on Fife Gingerbread’s Family Approach project. By working in a family-centred way, the project is improving employability outcomes and empowering parents to develop personal assets and resilience. This, we will show, benefits not only them but also their children.

In this session we will hear from researchers about their work exploring aspects of youth employment and employment support.

CRFR and the University of Stirling welcome Professor Liz Beddoe, Dr Lucy Lowe and Dr Laura Sochas to speak on reproductive justice.

This public engagement seminar brings together university scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds to create sociological fiction, narrating stories inspired by children and young people with whom they have worked in their research. Through these narratives, we will explore how children challenge, navigate, and transform the colonial structures that shape their daily experiences.

Led by Take Note and produced in collaboration with The Binks Hub and The Centre for Research on Families and Relationships (CRFR), The Power of Purpose workshop series is based on the simple idea that the ability of charities and grassroots social change organisations to clearly articulate their “why”, their “what” and their “so what” is the bedrock for effective impact and long-term survival.

Read the first summary of our recent workshop exploring research that asks new questions or adopts innovative methodological approaches to reflect on the part played by friendships in the context of current global disruptions and widespread social change.
