Beginning with the conceptual scaffolding of families in their historical and cultural context this text includes the key cultural differences of ethnicity, class and sexuality. Theoretical perspectives including functionalism, feminist approaches and reflexive modernization are also clearly outlined. Once the groundwork has been established this book delves into examining the complexity of contemporary family life, covering key elements in the life course - childhood, youth, partnering, parenting and ageing and both the positive and negative sides of family life including intimacy and violence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeborah Dempsey, \u003cem\u003eSenior Lecturer in Sociology, Deputy Chair, Swinburne University\u003c\/em\u003e, Jo Lindsay, \u003cem\u003eAssociate Professor, School of Social Sciences, Monash University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeborah Dempsey\u003c\/strong\u003e - Senior Lecturer, School of Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities, Swinburne University \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJo Lindsay\u003c\/strong\u003e - Associate Professor, School of Social Sciences, Monash University and President of the Australian Sociological Society\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.8 x 9.6 x 6.7 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 01, 2015\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45831386104005,"sku":"9780195525649","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/SNg3pbFrEe9780195525649.webp?v=1771207129","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/families-relationships-and-intimate-life-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
