About this Conference:
Families and individuals are influenced every day by the policies of various forms of government. The policies themselves are shaped by the beliefs and attitudes the lawmakers hold regarding families, and individuals, and their needs and functioning. Those who advocate for families can be instrumental in influencing the way lawmakers think about families, as well as the way policies are written.
As family scholars, we need to be mindful of the impacts of policy proposals, and advocate for the policies that will have the most beneficial effect on families in general.
The Groves Conference on Marriage and Family 2021 is focusing on both family policy and family advocacy. Papers submitted to be presented at the 2021 Conference will have an emphasis on either policy or advocacy.
Subjects cover a wide variety of topics including:
