As the demographics of the United States and the rest of the world shift and global processes grow in importance, it is critical to examine the impact of these issues in the family and consumer sciences (FCS) and related fields. This special issue of the Family and Consumer Sciences Research Journal focuses on cultural diversity from a global perspective. It highlights the importance of understanding worldwide social trends and the new opportunities and challenges that are emerging in an increasingly interrelated world. This issue also serves as a platform for an interdisciplinary exploration of the intersection of FCS‐related fields and the social transformation in which we find ourselves. It aims to generate a discussion on how the interface between FCS research and global phenomena is applied to practice with the intent of preparing professionals for an increasingly diverse world
