Cardiff University is home to scholars working on the rich and complex topics of families, identities and gender from many different disciplinary perspectives. As a research group, we have four main aims:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>To further understanding of the changing experiences, representations, and roles of families, identities, and gender in past and present societies;<\/li>\n<li>To provide a meeting point for scholars working in apparently divergent disciplines to explore the connections between their approaches to these topics, as researchers and teachers;<\/li>\n<li>To bring together scholars at different levels of university life, and to bridge the gap between the research environments of postgraduates and established scholars;<\/li>\n<li>To make links between FIG and research groups working on similar areas within and beyond the UK.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are particularly interested in research which explores the following areas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>different disciplinary definitions, concepts, and approaches to the study of family, identity, and gender;<\/li>\n<li>subjective experiences of family, identity and gender, including bodily, emotional, and psychological dimensions;<\/li>\n<li>modes of representation of family, identity, and gender, and their social, political, and historical influence;<\/li>\n<li>the relation of gender and family to other central organising concepts and aspects of identity such as race, class, age, and place.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to become an Affiliate member of FIG , or to join the mailing list, please contact Dr. Tracey Loughran: <span style=\"text-decoration: underline\"><span style=\"color: #0000ff;text-decoration: underline\">LoughranTL@cardiff.ac.uk<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Families, Identities, and Gender Research Network (FIG) is a Cardiff-based interdisciplinary research group.
