If there were a Wikipedia page for famology, what would it say?

December 19, 2012

Around the NCFR office this past year we have talked a lot about the sustainability of the field of family science. Sometimes we call it family studies, sometimes we call it human development and family studies (HDFS), but the conversation is the same and revolves around: the future of the discipline, the viability of degree programs, the employability of undergraduates, and the future of NCFR.

for Members ONLY

"Famology" (Dead), "Family Science" (Life Support): How is "Family Studies" Doing? - Audio Recording

The purpose of this symposium will be to examine how well the family field as a whole is faring 30 years after Burr's proposal. More specifically, the symposium will examine how family studies/science is doing in the academy, among other social and behavioral sciences, and among the general public and popular media.
