Gender and Disadvantage in Health
Women, typically, have been the focus for discussions of health inequalities in relation to gender. Now research on prostate illhealth turns attention to the neglected area of men's health and to men's disadvantage in health. Drawing on evidence of men's experiences and perspectives of their health, the complexities of the workings of gender in relation to health are explored, using current theorising around masculinities, hegemonic masculinity, …
Responsibilities in Studying Postmodern Families
Traditional modernist family sociology is identified as oppressive and reactionary; this is related to a lack of sense of responsibility. In exploring the responsibilities of those who study postmodern family life, recent material is explored with regard to theoretical, methodological, and policy-related issues. A vital link is made between sociological practice, everyday practice, and policy formation. It is argued that we must recognize and rec…

Whose ‘Family’? A Note on ‘The Changing Sociological Construct of the Family’
It is encouraging to read ethnographic research that addresses the way actors understand their own ‘family lives' which also includes some debate about the way sociologists use the term ‘the family’
Founding the New 'Family Studies
By developing the concept of Multidimensional Developmental Pathways, the potential social policy consequences of such theorising are explored. In moving towards conceptualising the actual needs of people and the unity of their lives we can consciously (rather than unconsciously) contribute proposals for rebuilding social policy. With a view to generating further interest in alternative theoretical approaches to the analysis of 'family life', thr…
Doing Things with Words
In examining 'family policy', previous work on 'family ideology' is developed to demonstrate that 'traditional family sociology' has been 'doing things with words'. In this area sociology, far from being innocuous, has had real impact upon society and may well have been oppressive and deeply reactionary
Multidimensional Developmental Pathways
This analysis takes Elder's work on the life-course as a starting point. Two proposals are made: (1) That the sociological use of the concept of 'the family' should be restricted to indicate only the occurrence of everyday usage; (2) That the notion of the 'family life-course' be replaced by the notion of individual life-courses coinciding upon developmental pathways. In this way the idea of a central type of 'the family' is made redundant and we…
In Search of 'The Family' - Analysis of the 1981 United Kingdom Census
This article reviews previous estimates of the frequency of 'normal families'1 in the UK and USA. Using evidence from the 1981 UK Census it is found that 'normal families' account for a very small percentage of all 'families' in England and Wales. No single central type of 'family' exists and there is therefore an urgent need to develop theoretical approaches which address this issue
Family Ideology
The issue of 'family ideology' has been systematically ignored by a majority of 'family'1 scholars whilst it has been taken for granted by a minority. The following study arises from the author's attempts to explore the issue of alternative theoretical approaches to the analysis of 'family life'.2 Increasing numbers of contemporary researchers concur in recognising the diversity of 'family forms' and the inappropriateness of speaking of 'The Fami…
