\nIreland, Galway<\/p>\n
Publisher: The Policy Press<\/p>\n
Aims and scope
\nStarting in 2012, with 3 issues per annum, Families, Relationships and
\nSocieties (FRS) is a new social science journal designed to advance
\nscholarship and debate in the growing field of families and relationships
\nacross the life course. It will explore family life, relationships and
\ngenerational issues from interdisciplinary, social science perspectives,
\nwhilst maintaining a solid grounding in sociological theory and methods and
\na strong policy and practice focus. The title \u2018Families, Relationships
\nand Societies\u2019 encompasses the fluidity, complexity and diversity of
\ncontemporary social and personal relationships and their need to be
\nunderstood in the context of different societies and cultures.<\/p>\n
International and comprehensive in scope, the journal covers a range of
\ntheoretical, methodological and substantive issues, from the complexities
\nof time, space and social change, to debates around family forms, practices
\nand resources, intergenerational care and support, intimacy,
\nindividualisation, inter-dependency, identity, gender and generation.
\nEncouraging methodological innovation, a life course perspective and
\ndynamic approaches, the journal will transcend traditional boundaries that
\ntypically focus on one life course stage, one configuration of families or
\nrelationships, or one society.<\/p>\n
The applied focus of the journal will embrace a diverse global field and
\nencourage a critical engagement with policy and practice developments and
\nissues within and across welfare regimes. A unique feature will be an
\n\u2018open space\u2019 section within the journal which will provide an
\nopportunity for debates across domains.<\/p>\n

\nrelevance to academic, policy and practitioner audiences, enabling a wide
\nrange of perspectives to be brought together in one place to foster
\ninnovation and development within disciplines and advance interdisciplinary
\nresearch and practice.<\/p>\n
