An experience of ‘family’ is common to us all, and yet is different for everyone. Join us for the next spring UEA Inaugural Lecture. Happening on campus or watch the live-stream on YouTube.

Next week, Prof Christine Cocker (Social of Social Work) is giving her Inaugural Lecture. It will explore her work with families in which belonging is contested or is as seen as different - perhaps because of the sexuality or gender of the parents and/or the non-biological link between children and parents who look after them.

By challenging these ideas and becoming more inclusive in our thinking about ‘belonging’, we can foster stronger relationships with each other and our communities.
