Calls for submissions

Contemporary Perspectives in Family Research (CPFR) provides an international forum for the very latest in family research; examining family structures, behaviours and relationships from a variety of theoretical, methodological and disciplinary viewpoints.

ISSN: 1530-3535

Aims and scope

Focusing on 'hot topics' at the leading edge of family research, this series provides in-depth coverage from expert authors.

Previous volumes have covered issues such as economic stress, family relations in the 21st Century, parent-child relations in later life, family living spaces, conjugal trajectories, and more.

Each volume recognizes the mainstream of family research topics and provides detailed investigations within those topics. The series honours the internationalization of family research and provides perspectives on each topic from a truly cross-cultural point of view.

The series as a whole provides in-depth analyses and diverse perspectives on contemporary family issues, making it a valuable resource for researchers, practitioners, and scholars interested in family studies.
