Martina Wilsch will Participate at the International Workshop Ukrainian Forced Migration, Transnational Family Processes and Co-Agency

In their presentation, they approach the study of transnational families from a relational and (con)figurational perspective, analysing how institutions shape the shifting constellations of care and social support among refugees, how familial and institutional ties intertwine within them, and how these processes influence agency and transnational care strategies. Her presentation is part of the project APVV VV-MVP-24-0203 “Family at the Edge: Contemporary Contexts of Vulnerability and Transformations of the Transnational Family” (RONARO), carried out at the Institute of Ethnology and Social Anthropology of the Slovak Academy of Sciences,as well as COST Action Transnational Family Dynamics in Europe and VEGA Intergenerational Relationships in the Family and Community: Ethnological Perspective.
