Parental Duties and Over-Demandingness

This workshop is a one-day, in-person-only event, in which we will explore a range of questions about the nature of family ties and parental responsibilities.

Although this is primarily a philosophical workshop, we welcome attendees from all backgrounds and disciplines at this workshop. We would especially encourage scholars to engage in cross-disciplinary dialogue about reproduction, family conceptions, environmental concerns.

The workshop is part of ‘The Future of Family Relationships’ research project. We are grateful to VELUX for sponsoring this event.
