Beschreibung

Diverse Pathways to Parenthood: From Narratives to Practice is a timely contribution to the study of reproduction and parenthood. Drawing on a wide breadth of projects, this book covers topics such as first time parents, donor conception, pregnancy loss, surrogacy, lesbian, gay and/or transgender parenting, fostering and adoption, grandparenting, and human/animal kinship. By presenting individual narratives focused on reproduction and parenthood, this book successfully translates empirical research into practical, applied outcomes that will be of use for all those working in the fields of reproduction and parenthood. Including recommendations for fertility specialists, educators, child protection agencies, reproductive counselors, and policy makers, Diverse Pathways to Parenthood: From Narratives to Practice is a vital new resource that will help guide practice into the future. As a contribution to the field of critical kinship studies, this book heralds new directions for the study of kinship, by revisiting as well as reimagining how we think about, research, and respond to a diversity of kinship forms. - Includes over 70 narratives representative of hundreds of interviews collected as a part of 15 research projects undertaken over the past decade - Supported by a companion website that provides further materials and information: diversepathways.com - Translates critical kinship studies theory into applied tools for practice in the fields of reproduction and parenthood

Rezensionen

"With its focus in diverse and complex stories of pathways not only to parenthood but to production and kinship, this book reflects qualitative research in critical kinship studies at its finest. Drawing on decades of collaborative research in the new book and in a highly pedagogical fashion, Damien Riggs explores and explains urgent and timely topics for practitioners in reproductive and family care by pointing to both conventions and resistances in time of ?new? family forms and increasing use of ARTs. Equally importantly, by reading across several topics not usually analyzed together (such as infertility and reproductive loss, kinship with animals and across generations, straight and queer parenting), Riggs provides strong arguments for why attention not only to norms and deviances, but gender, sexuality and culture remain at the core of kinship and thus of critical kinship studies." --Ulrika Dahl, Professor of Gender Studies, Uppsala University
