Practicing the Family

Edited by Sabine Bollig and Lisa Grob

How "family" is construed on a material and discursive level has gained increasing interest among educational and social work professionals. Contributors to this volume address that question in relation to the diverse daily practices of "doing family" by its heterogeneous members. The book builds a transdisciplinary bridge between research on family life on the one hand and research on the formatting of family in welfare state contexts on the other.
