Call for papers
for a special issue of HUMAN AFFAIRS
on
TRADITIONAL AND ALTERNATIVE PARENTHOODS:
MOTIVATIONS, DILEMMAS, AND QUALITY OF LIFE
Traditional forms of parenthood are bound to matrimony and heterosexuality, non-traditional are represented by different forms of non-marital coexistence, e.g. cohabitation, separated, adoptive, professional, as well as same-sex-couple parenthood and parenthood in older age. Amongst the effects of family transitions influencing children’s well-being are most frequently discussed: family instability, growing family complexity, economic-parental resources, health and psychological problems, parental relationship quality, parenting quality, etc. Although many data suggest that children living with their married parents are far better off than children in various nonmarital arrangements a lot of researchers realize the necessity to conduct more advanced research in order to better understand the complexity of family transitions and family composition. Dynamic changes in family structure are yet not enough reflected in communities, societies, families themselves, as well as in family studies. They are as well not enough reflected in law systems in many countries. Therefore, among the questions that need to be addressed more precisely are: What are the motivations leading to diversification of forms of parenthood, which barriers people face and what are the schemes of coping, how satisfied are they with their parenthood, how do they view their quality of life and the quality of life of their children?

Careful care?
Barriers and facilitators of developing relationship with children in substitute family care.
Lucia Hargašová
Monday, 8th of October 2018, 14:00 – 15:30 Meeting room of Social Sciences Institutes SAV, SAV Campus at Patronka
In the constitutional seminar, I will report on the research stay I graduated from April to August 2018 at the University of Strathclyde – CELCIS (Center for Excellence for Primary Care in Scotland / Center for Excellence for Children in Scotland). I am talking about the lessons and the lessons of surrogate care in Scotland and about the preliminary findings of a research study I have made there. I have been interested in ways to fine-tune the aspects of intimacy and professionalism that carry the role of the educator. The central question has become – what kind of love is appropriate in substitute care? The publishers in Scotland, like the Slovaks, perceive their work with children as demanding, fulfilling and meaningful, and they consider it crucial to develop a relationship with the child. However, the higher degree of professionalisation I observed in Scotland has also served as a barrier to building close relationships. One of the important factors is the effort to control the risks of childcare.
Seminar is part of VEGA 2/0027/17 Tradičné a alternatívne rodičovstvá 21. storočia: motivácie, dilemy a konzekvencie.
