Rebellious Parents: Parental Movements in Central-Eastern Europe and Russia

By Katalin Fábián,
professor of Government and Law

Parental activism is on the rise in Central-Eastern Europe and Russia, where it often sparks political and societal debate. Despite the rising influence of such movements, there has been little scholarly research dedicated to them. Professor of Government and Law Katalin Fábián wanted to resolve that with her latest book, Rebellious Parents: Parental Movements in Central-Eastern Europe and Russia (Indiana University Press, June 2017), which she co-edited with her research collaborator, Elżbieta Korolczuk. The book is a collection of 12 essays written by various international scholars who analyze the formal coalitions and informal networks parents establish to advocate for change.
