Advancing Modern Families with Alexander Chen and Health Schechinger


Listen Later

In this episode we build on the two part series on consensual non-monogamy by discussing modern family structures and the work underway to support them.

Our guests, Alexander Chen and Health Schechinger are both doing remarkable work in this field.

In this conversation we discuss:

  • The relationship between consensual non-monogamy and the LGBTQ+ movement
  • What family means
  • Why this is a civil right issue
  • Legal work underway to support nondyadic partnerships
  • The research agenda
  • Why this is relevant for systemic change more broadly

 

Resources:

  • Modern Family Institute
  • Polyamory Legal Advocacy Coalition
