This deficit in education informs pedagogical approaches and support gaps wherein students remain the forgotten mourners with missed opportunities for development around the universal human experience of loss. In contrast to the neoliberal academy, drawing on feminist, arts-based, and trauma-informed pedagogies, we offer a disruption to neoliberalism by encouraging a theoretical push for scholars to normalize loss in development, enfranchise grief, and promote restorative practices. We share an example featuring art paired with Human Development and Family Science content (Healing in the Arts/HITA), whereby students drew on and/or observed performance art to engage with trauma, loss, and grief. We share strategies for faculty to address trauma and loss and offer resources and support.</p>","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"92-111"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049794","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, much of this work positions forced marriage as a problem of “backwards” culture or religion. This scoping review synthesizes and critiques research on forced marriage, showing that extant research has focused on individual circumstances of vulnerability, forced entrance to marriage, and cisgendered heterosexual women. These narrow framings eclipse the structural drivers, forces that prevent exit, and experiences of heterosexual men, queer individuals, and those with disabilities. Overall, the reviewed literature demonstrates the opportunity of applying new methodological (e.g., social autopsy), conceptual (e.g., post‐carceral approaches), and descriptive (e.g., gender and sexual minority people) approaches to this social problem. We urge family scientists to pay more attention to forced marriage, as they are uniquely positioned to parse out distinctions in the range of experiences that constitute forced marriage and to consider strategies to support marital self‐determination.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"62 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143020471","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

LGBT older adults are particularly vulnerable to the impact of minority stress as they are more likely to live alone and to be estranged from their families of origin. To cope, many LGBT older adults have developed social networks that include chosen families and non‐biological relatives who care for one another as if they are family. The chosen family resilience strategy renegotiates what it means to do family and is worthy of theoretical examination. We apply the convoy model of social relations as an interdisciplinary framework for examining LGBT older adults' social networks and chosen families. We discuss points of convergence between the model and what is known about LGBT social networks, and we extend the model to account for chosen families and online social connections.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142992608","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Implications for egalitarian nonmonogamy","authors":"Perri Sriwannawit","doi":"10.1111/jftr.12611","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1111/jftr.12611","url":null,"abstract":"The notion of equality attracts both proponents and critics of nonmonogamy. Inequality is a widely discussed objection to nonmonogamy. Simultaneously, equality is highlighted as a core value in ethical nonmonogamy. The notions of equality and inequality in these debates have not been clearly conceptualized. In order to propose a conception of egalitarian nonmonogamy, it is important to first understand possible inequalities within it. This paper establishes a clearer and in‐depth understanding of inequalities in nonmonogamy by categorizing inequalities in traditional polygamy into different kinds. I argue that these inequalities are generally unjust. Although these inequalities are common in traditional polygamy, the objection that polygamy—as a type of marriage—is inherently unequal and unjust is not a convincing argument. By contrast, not all kinds of equality—such as equal love or equal number of partners—are morally significant. I conclude this paper by providing some groundwork for future research on egalitarian nonmonogamy.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"21 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142961474","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the mental health issues of Black immigrant families in the US through the lens of intersectionality. We explore how overlapping identities, race, immigration status, and socioeconomic conditions impact mental health outcomes. Despite their growing numbers, Black immigrants remain underrepresented in mental health research, facing barriers such as language, cultural stigma, and limited access to services. Specific findings reveal how structural racism and migration stress compound to worsen mental health outcomes. This review highlights the importance of targeted, culturally sensitive interventions and comprehensive healthcare practices by analyzing these factors. We advocate for an intersectional approach to address systemic barriers and improve mental health outcomes for Black immigrant families, emphasizing the urgent need for expanded research to promote social justice and equity.","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"86 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":4.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142961580","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Youngblade","doi":"10.1111/jftr.12602","DOIUrl":"10.1111/jftr.12602","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;Many years ago, my graduate mentor, Jay Belsky, said something to me that has stuck with me throughout my career: “Ideas that move us forward are found at the intersection.” Indeed, this sentiment has been in my thoughts as I have read and reflected on “Human Development and Family Science: A Story of Disciplinary Fragmentation and Kinship.” Dyer weaves a thought-provoking narrative of many intersections: the past and present; personal journey and disciplinary evolution; disciplinary fragmentation and new disciplinary alignment; identity, power, and the history of women in the academy; place and time; discovery and application; and a few more. There is much food for thought here, and I appreciate the opportunity to comment on this intriguing paper. Dyer's core thesis invites the field to collective and intentional action surrounding the future identity of human development and family science (HDFS). Building on her analysis, I aim to broaden the perspective and opportunity that this article provides through consideration of the broader human sciences field, which is amidst a similar evolutionary step. Without a doubt, HDFS is at the center of these changes and applying a kinship framework to the future not only will benefit HDFS but position the broader human sciences for the future.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;First, I will put my identities on the table. I received my masters and PhD degrees in Human Development and Family Studies from Penn State, an outstanding program in a research-intensive, land-grant university. I have been a faculty member or administrator in R1 public universities my entire career, with a greater amount of time spent in R1 land-grant institutions. I currently serve as dean of the College of Health and Human Sciences at Colorado State University. I am a tenured professor in HDFS and served for 13 years as the department head of HDFS prior to becoming dean. Finally, I have the privilege of serving as vice-chair of the Board on Health and Human Sciences (BHHS) at the Association for Public and Land Grant Universities (APLU). Our identities and journeys influence our narratives, and it is important for me to state mine.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Through a rich historical overview of the disciplinary evolution from home economics to human development and family science, Dyer illustrates the current state of HDFS as one of identity crisis and decreased visibility on campuses, posing what she terms a great threat to the vitality of HDFS in higher education. She is careful to state that this narrative may be somewhat different for HDFS departments in research intensive institutions or other contexts (and I would argue in institutions with large HDFS undergraduate programs, which have direct revenue benefits), and I agree with this caveat. Nevertheless, her point is extremely well taken that there is work ahead in defining the forward-looking identity, relevance, and value of HDFS to campuses and the broader academy. In response to the challenge she poses, Dyer strate","PeriodicalId":47446,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Theory & Review","volume":"17 1","pages":"43-47"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/jftr.12602","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142753172","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
