Advancing the Family Science Discipline in 2020
November 2021 Update: NCFR has developed additional resources as part of its Advancing Family Science Initiative. You can find links to these resources in this document.
In 2020, NCFR revived its focus on strengthening the identity and visibility of the Family Science discipline. An Advancing Family Science initiative will continue through 2021 and beyond, thanks to the contributions, energy, and expertise of so many NCFR members.
Results of 2020’s work include:
- Extended online information about what Family Science is and why it’s important
- A collection of resources to support academic programs changing their names to include ‘Family Science’
- A bibliography of Family Science as a discipline
- A member town hall event and discussion at NCFR’s annual member meeting (member login required), with more than 70 NCFR members in attendance at each
- Regular content promoting the Family Science discipline and careers in Zippy News, and on Facebook and Twitter
