Event Details

It has not always been clear what roles or functions (apart from perhaps encouragement and funding support as appropriate) parents, guardians and carers should take when their children attend schools, colleges or universities.

Digital technologies have affected shifts in roles (particularly during the Covid-19 pandemic), and they still are, sometimes (and increasingly so) in major ways. This seminar will explore these shifts and changes, highlighting recent research work that Don and colleagues have undertaken in different contexts in this field.

Speaker
