Valentina Mazzucato Keynote Speaker at Transnational Families and Divorce Conference
MO-TRAYL’s principal investigator professor Valentina Mazzucato was one of the keynote speakers during the Transnational Families and Divorce Conference, which took place on 27-28 September 2017 at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands.
About the conference:
The ruptures affecting interpersonal relationships in ‘transnational families’ have received strong scholarly interest in the past decades. Although marital break-up has a cross-border dimension, the issue of divorce remains largely unexplored in transnational family scholarship in particular and in migration studies in general. It is therefore timely to examine transnational divorce, as its causes, processes, and after-effects increasingly take place across national and socio-cultural borders. The Transnational Families and Divorce Conference examines transnational divorce by taking into account the different socio-legal and cultural contexts within which it occurs, notably how state policies influence the process of marital dissolution.
