This book is a vital new resource in the sociological study of
family life in the 21st century. The chapters in this volume
explore a diverse range of family and intimate life experiences,
such as personal choices about reproduction and how life choices
and family forms are mediated by factors including geographical
location, race, ethnicity, sexuality, gender, income and government
policy. Through a series of evidence-based chapters, leading
sociologists explore a diverse range of family and intimate life
experiences and the contexts within which they are lived and
experienced. Each chapter delves into the lives and experiences of
people whose choices in some way seem to disrupt normative and
traditional ideas of family, parenting and childhood. Family
patterns and experiences of living apart together, troubled
families, children in care, culture, coupledom, same-sex families
and digital technology are covered and examined innovatively
through theoretical engagement. Chapters also incorporate
innovative technologies and their use within family spaces that
shape the nature of human relationships and interactions. These
negotiations within the family are globally contextualised within
the political and ideological frameworks of societies at any given
moment in time. The work recognises the sensitivity of family and
personal lives and incorporates the increasing need of the impact
of emotionality that forms part of knowledge production.
Additionally, innovative methods are showcased in chapters on
researching the family through socially just methods, researcher
emotionality and visual data. By bringing together
thought-provoking research findings and innovative methodological
and theoretical approaches, this collection of essays raises and
articulates relevant, timely and future thinking for its readers.
This book will therefore be indispensable for students and
researchers as well as professionals and policymakers interested in
understanding family life in the 21st century.
