Join our slow book club!
What is it?
A book club that meets in-person in Glasgow’s South Side to chat about our chosen book. We’re reading slowly, one chapter at a time, and meeting when ‘enough of us’ have got to the end of the chapter.
Who is it for?
A space for anyone with an interest in alternative family structures or ways of living (intentional flat sharing, chosen family, communal living, co-operative living, intergenerational living, fostering, adoption, polycules etc. etc.) to discuss ideas and experiences and prompted by the models presented in our chosen book, Everyday Utopia.
How do I join?
Email Rebecca at hello@kinfolkfamilies.info for more info.
What’s the cost?
Totally free! However, as Kinfolk Families is currently volunteer run, then a donation would be much appreciate. You can also buy the book from us which helps to support our ongoing work.
Out of stock? Get in touch with us at hello@kinfolkfamilies.info - we might be able to order you one!
Throughout history and around the world today, forward-thinking communities have pioneered alternative ways of living together, sharing property and raising children. In Everyday Utopia, anthropologist Kristen Ghodsee explores what we can learn from these experiments – from the ancient Greek commune founded by Pythagoras to the trail-blazing feminists of the French Revolution, from the cohousing movement in contemporary Denmark to the flourishing ecovillages of Colombia and Portugal. She shows why utopian thinking is essential to making a fairer world and that many of the best ways of getting there begin at home.
