Newsletter September 2025

Dear friends,

As we leave summer behind, taking with us the memories treasured with our families, at Home Renaissance Foundation, we begin the final term with our Annual Board Meeting in London this October, where we will move forward with our forthcoming Experts Meetings:

  • EM 2026 ‘Home and Engaged Fatherhood’ in Barcelona. Bringing Engaged Fatherhood in from Margins for Men, Families and Gender Equity
  • EM 2028 ‘Home and Work’. A review of the anthropological dimension of work.

During these months of seemingly lower activity, we also presented at IESE Business School our forthcoming book, Nurturing Healthy Relationships at Home and Work, to be published with Springer. This took place within the framework of the XI International Conference of the International Centre for Work and Family. As soon as we have a publication date, we will let you know.

We have also recently received the good news that our book on Home and Climate Change—arising from the EM ‘Home/Family and Climate Change’ held in Nottingham, and which led us to present conclusions at the United Nations in May 2024—will be published by Routledge, becoming the fifth in our Home series with this prestigious publisher.

And finally, though by no means least, just before our summer break, we launched what we consider HRF’s most special project: the LEGACY PLAN. This opens a new door to all those who, through their estate or will, wish to support our research and ensure the well-being and positive impact of homes in society.

Next year we will celebrate our 20th anniversary, with seven academic publications already on the market, and we look forward to continuing for another twenty years exploring the immense impact of the home on society.

With all best wishes,
Sir Bryan K. Sanderson
