Families in Focus, published by Rutgers University Press, is home to cutting-edge books covering the breadth of scholarship on families and kinship. The editors seek books that explore families —as they adjust to changing intimate relationships, uncertain economic situations, and contested political contexts. We are especially interested in books that highlight differences and inequalities both within and among families.
Families in Focus will publish research based on a variety of methodologies and will also occasionally publish synthetic pieces. We are open to discussing manuscripts at any stage of development.
