The links between community, work and family have generated widespread interdisciplinary and global interest and now constitute an important area of study in the social sciences, with major implications for a range of professionals and policy makers.
This international conference was organised by the editorial team of the journal Community, Work and Family at Manchester Metropolitan University together with the international editorial board.
The conference provided a forum for social scientists and practitioners to share research, experiences and ideas and stimulated debate on current issues and controversies relating to community, work and family and their interface. Given the pervasiveness and speed of change and experiences of shifting boundaries in communities, workplaces and families, there was a particular focus on ongoing and future change and transformations, from multiple perspectives.
Major conference themes included
- Care
- The integration of paid work and personal life
- Organisational change
- Community participation
- Diversity, inclusion and marginalisation
- Professional practice, and policy
- Well-being
These proceedings contain copies of abstracts and papers presented to the conference.
