About the seminar

The key aim of the workshop is to discuss drafts of the articles and project proposals on the topics of family issues in order to prepare presentations for scientific conferences, publications, applications for grants. Each seminar is recorded; materials are collected (texts, presentations).

It is planned to continue this seminar in 2018 and to focus the discussions not only on drafts of the articles but also on theoretical and empirical research on different aspects of family life.
