The Everday Life of Multi-Local Families

The Schumpeter Research Group “Multi-local families”,funded by the Volkswagen Foundation and hosted by the German Youth Institute (DJI) in Munich, has completed its first qualitative case study on the „Multi-local life of post-separation families in Germany“. The two-day international and interdiciplinary workshop will discuss the Schumpeter Group's research procedures and findings with scholars from related research fields against the background of the international state of the art.

The first day of the workshop will be devoted to conceptual and methodological approaches to pluri-local family life as one of numerous new settings for post-modern family life. The second day of the workshop will focus on the example of multi-local family life after separation and divorce. The multi-local conduct of everyday family life, translocal connections and relations, multiple belonging and the resulting mobility of adults and children in post-separation families will be discussed from various perspectives.
Until now, multi-local family life has been studied and debated in such diverse research contexts as migration research, mobility studies, housing studies, research on post-separation families and research on dual career, long-distance and commuter couples. So far, hardly any connections have been established between these different research contexts. The workshop aims to foster the exchange between international and interdisciplinary scholars with respect to the various conceptual and methodological approaches to multi-sited family life.
