Featuring real stories that bring her research to life, this talk highlights what we need to know about today's changing family roles and relationships, how objects have their own cultural biographies, and the ways that group inequalities matter in the larger collection of our family stories.

Discover why stuff matters to families, and why material goods are symbols of so much more.
