In a single human lifespan, several transformational changes have occurred in family life. Family structures are more diverse, and demographic and socioeconomic shifts have become more pronounced. Increasingly, contemporary families have been split into the “haves” and the “have nots”.
How nimble have family policies been in adapting to these changes in an era of polarized politics? This webinar will feature the latest innovations in science and practice impacting family policies, specifically focusing on how research contributes to family policy, and how professionals can engage policymakers around such research.
Led by an expert in family policy, Dr. Karen Bogenschneider will provide insights on the evolution of family policy and how to engage policymakers in promoting policies that would benefit diverse families. Overall, by the end of this webinar, attendees will be able to:
- Identify several transformational changes in contemporary family life
- Discern how diverse family policies have adapted to changing family circumstances
- Discuss recent research on how polarized family policy is and how much research evidence is used
- Apply several best practices for engaging policymakers around research
