Consensual non-monogamies (CNMs), such as polyamory, open relationships, and relationship anarchy, despite their increasingvisibility, remain stigmatised. In particular, CNM relations that engage in multi-parenthood (MP) are poorly understood and lack legal recognition. This research will explore family and conjugal constellations that differ from heteronormative, monogamous, and couple-centric marriage standards in the UK and Brazil, investigating how CNM kinship practices and MP childcare activities are impacted by cultural dynamics, 'legal sensibilities', and lack of adequate legal provisions in the respective countries. The project deploys the concept of 'legal consciousness' as a critical tool to understand how CNM parents are interpreting and dealing with legal constraints in order to circumvent and resist harm and discrimination. This international comparative mixed-methods research will advance the understanding of neglected parenting populations, identifying the needs and intersectional inequalities around MP in CNM relations, as well as the beneficial aspects of novel child-rearing practices. It will advance social theory by engaging in a North/South dialogue and by enhancing socio-legal scholarship to go beyond the isolated analysis of the law, focusing upon the voices and reasonings of people affected by legal procedures and regulations. Since those alternative practices have so far received little attention in policy-making the project will provide urgently needed data and analysis to develop political, legal, and educational agendas, raising awareness about the potential benefits of integrative policies, legal changes, and anti-discrimination measures to enhance the well-being of those involved in CNM and MP. The fellowship will advance the ER's career path towards becoming an eminent expert in socio-legal studies and a leading scholar in sexuality and kinship studies, increasing his chances of securing apermanent academic position.

自愿的非一夫一妻制（CNM），例如多元之爱、开放关系和关系无政府状态，尽管它们的知名度越来越高，但仍然受到污名化。特别是，涉及多亲身份（MP）的 CNM 关系知之甚少，也缺乏法律认可。这项研究将探讨与英国和巴西的异性恋、一夫一妻制和以夫妻为中心的婚姻标准不同的家庭和婚姻格局，调查 CNM 亲属关系实践和 MP 儿童保育活动如何受到文化动态、“法律敏感性”和缺乏法律意识的影响。各国有充分的法律规定。该项目将“法律意识”的概念作为一个重要工具，以了解 CNM 父母如何解释和处理法律约束，以规避和抵制伤害和歧视。这项国际比较混合方法研究将增进对被忽视的养育人群的理解，确定 CNM 关系中 MP 的需求和交叉不平等，以及新颖的育儿实践的有益方面。它将通过参与南北对话和加强社会法律学术来推进社会理论，超越对法律的孤立分析，重点关注受法律程序和法规影响的人们的声音和推理。由于迄今为止这些替代做法在政策制定中很少受到关注，因此该项目将提供急需的数据和分析，以制定政治、法律和教育议程，提高人们对一体化政策、法律变革和反歧视的潜在好处的认识提高 CNM 和 MP 参与者福祉的措施。该奖学金将推动急诊室成为社会法律研究领域的杰出专家以及性和亲属关系研究领域的顶尖学者，从而增加他获得永久学术职位的机会。
