Thinking Family Out of the Box

Daphna Birenbaum-Carmeli is a medical sociologist
and professor in the Department of Nursing at the Faculty of
Welfare and Health Sciences at the University of Haifa. She
is known, among many other things, for asking research
questions that provide unique insights into the working
of contemporary societies. In this
podcast episode, Daphna talks with Barbara Prainsack about
two of her research projects that illustrate the changing meaning
of kinship in Israeli society, from two very different
perspectives: One project looks at how family relationships are
changing when same-sex parents break up. The other one explores
how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the relationships of young
Israelis with their partners and children, as well as
their attitudes towards family and work.
