The talk will be held at 11 A.M. on the 5th of January in the Seminar Hall of the Department of Sociology, University of Delhi. Although this talk is being organised as part of the MPhil course on Rethinking family in contemporary societies, everyone interested is welcome to attend. A brief Abstract of the talk and a short biographical note about Professor Barn follows. Abstract In this talk, Professor Barn will examine the role of non-government organisations in the development and implementation of support structures for families experiencing vulnerability and marginalisation. By drawing on research carried out in London and Odisha (Barn & Das, 2015; Barn and Puhan, 2016), an attempt will be made to identify key challenges in family intervention approaches. In particular, the Maori practice of ‘family group conferencing’, and ‘community-based child protection mechanisms’ will be discussed in the context of socio-economic disadvantage, risk, power and modernity. Biography:Ravinder Barn is Professor of Social Policy in the School of Law, Royal Holloway University of London.
