Description

The Macqueen Annual Lecture is named in honour of Julie-Ann Macqueen who played a leading role in bringing the struggles of single-parent families to the attention of the public, policymakers, and lawmakers. Her legacy continues through initiatives like the Macqueen Scholarship, which supports PhD research in Social Work focusing on one-parent families.

This is our third lecture and, for the first time, this will take place online, which will enable us to invite further afield audiences.

The keynote speaker will be Professor E. Tendayi Achiume, Stanford University.
