Research output: Contribution to journal › Editorial

Abstract

The focus of this special issue is beyond the practice of kinship care. We focus more broadly on conceptualizations of kinship that have developed within the discipline of anthropology and have been influential within sociological thinking around families (Simpson 1998; Carsten 2004).
