Family in Poland: Social and legal contexts in Bloomington, MN

How has the legal context of the family changed in Poland? Families are by no means monolithic but heterogeneous. They are jagged and dynamic and globalisation has altered their form as well as the perception of family as a fundamental value in Poland over time. In this work the preferred family structures and models of family life by Poles will be explored, as well as the question of how values around family have shifted for Poles. The current legal regulations in Poland in the field of family law will also be debated to determine if they sufficiently support the goals and the function of a family.
