Family, Relationality and Kinship
We bring together academics from various schools and disciplines at Sussex who are researching topics broadly related to the family and personal relationships.
Collaborate with us
We welcome contact from academics from any discipline who are working on related topics, including academics from ÅÝܽ¶ÌÊÓƵ, other universities and independent researchers.
We are also interested in establishing contacts with non-academics working in areas that may be impacted by our research. This includes legal professionals, educators, social workers, relationship counsellors and mental health professionals.
Contact us at family@sussex.ac.uk if you are interested in working with us.

- Centre for Gender Studies

- Centre for Cultures of Reproduction, Technologies and Health
