Title: Caring families in the Global Context.
Research on caring practices within the family have increased in the last 20 years, together with the advance in public policies that target work and family balance, especially parental leave. International research has increased sociological understanding of work-family conflict, caring strategies, gender identities, economic and working situations amongst other topics. However, most research has been conducted in the Global North and among white, middle-class mixed-sex parents, and mainly amongst parents of young children. The perspective of children on parent’s care is also scarce.
We would like to receive proposals about families’ caring practices, taking into account a diverse range of families, located in a range of cultural and family policy backgrounds. We welcome papers that explore the caring discourses and practices of minoritized families.
The thematic orientation of this call certainly does not mean excluding papers on other research fields focused on families and intimate lives. Thus, we will enthusiastically welcome these alternative proposals.
