This strand of research activity is focused on the well-being of children, young people, and families and on changing family forms.
Research is informed by both practice-based priorities and by theoretical approaches to understanding the changing nature of families, childhood and constructions of youth.
Our work has regional, national and international recognition. However, this work is not new to the Faculty of Education and Society. This research strand builds on a long tradition of placing children, young people and families at the heart of social science research interests at Sunderland since the 1970s at least.
