Elizabeth Silva, Professor of Sociology at the Open University, will speak about her 2010 book Technology, Culture, Family: Influences on Home Life. Elizabeth has supplied the following abstract
Technology, Culture, Family presents new understandings of connections between personal, relational and material matters in everyday life in the context of broader and long standing social problems. It reflects on the connections between mundane domestic practices and the technological patterns and practices of a world driven by forces that go much beyond any individual or small group.
