Families at the Nexus of Law and Policy
The Intended and Unintended Consequences of Legislating Families and Relationships
Our 2026 conference will highlight the consequences, both intended and unintended, of legislating relationships, particularly as they pertain to families at the margins.
It is our belief that following this conference, attendees will see new ways to bridge Family Science, law, and policy in their research, teaching, practice, and activism toward the goal of improving the lives of diverse families.
