The Groves Conference on Marriage and Family: History & Impact on Family Science offers family scholars and practitioners a detailed history of Groves from its origin in 1934 to the present day. Founded by Ernest R. Groves as a cutting edge organization for understanding families, it was first held at the Carolina Inn on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, seen on the front cover. The Groves Conference on Marriage and Family continues to meet each year across the United States and internationally to explore how families can be resilient in the face of changes that will affect their daily lives—now and in the future. Groves Monographs on Marriage and Family is an edited book series based on the annual meetings of the Groves Conference on Marriage and Family, an interdisciplinary, interprofessional organization of limited invited membership founded in 1934. Groves Monographs publishes work on the leading edges of theory development and empirical research in the field of family studies. Individual volumes are edited by the chairs of the annual Groves Conferences and include peer-reviewed chapters by the conference presenters and invited authors. Topics are timely and provocative with diverse themes.
