Abstract
Dr Reenee Singh (Director of the London Intercultural Couples Centre) and Professor Jacqui Gabb (OU) will focus on the ways in which families and relationships are created, sustained, challenged and disrupted against the current backdrop of social and political crises.

The seminar will thereby offer a shift away from approaches that consider relationships (however conceived) as being 'in crisis' and concentrate instead on crisis as a backdrop for relationships. In particular, it will explore how changing material and ideological conditions have impacted on families and relationships in Europe, and how families and intimate relationships have responded to crises.
