The social and demographic catalysts for these changes - including but not limited to delayed marriage, the legalization of same-sex marriage, women's increased labor force participation, and declines in fertility and mortality - have further impacted norms around family life and the performance of formal and informal family roles. Despite these radical shifts, however, family and personal relationships are not well-represented in disability scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn the interest of expanding disability scholarship on families, this volume of \u003cem\u003eResearch in Social Science and Disability \u003c\/em\u003ebrings together research and theoretical perspectives that challenge and revise dominant perspectives on disability and the changing contexts of family and personal relationships. Rooted in a sociological and anti-ableist understanding of families which recognizes that families are not only shaped by individuals and individual relationships, chapters instead concentrate on the social contexts in which families exist to shift our focus away from individuals and allows us to engage with the social structures and status hierarchies that may privilege or undermine families and relationships to varying degrees.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eShowcasing conceptually innovative work and cutting-edge methods related to the study of families, \u003cem\u003eDisability and the Changing Contexts of Family and Personal Relationships \u003c\/em\u003epresents not just a groundbreaking perspective on disability and family life, but also a new paradigm in disability scholarship.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gabriele Ciciurkaite\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Emerald Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/10\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 240\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837532216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGabriele Ciciurkaite\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Utah State University, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobyn Lewis Brown \u003c\/strong\u003eis Full Professor in the Department of Sociology and Director of the Health, Society, and Populations Program at the University of Kentucky, USA.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Emerald Publishing Limited","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43948949471347,"sku":"9.78184E+12","price":137.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_ae04735a-941b-4cd2-a6d2-2a838dbb0c24.jpg?v=1759328511","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/disability-and-the-changing-contexts-of-family-and-personal-relationships-9781837532216","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
