Family and friends in today’s world

Volume 19 Number 1

September 2009

Welcome to another new volume of SOCIOLOGY REVIEW, the only magazine aimed at A-level sociology students; and what a packed issue we have to start off Volume 19.

We begin by looking at the most up-to-date ideas about developments in family and friendship relationships. Professor Graham Allan, one of the bestknown figures in the field, shows how families of choice are characteristic of life today and how the boundaries between families and friendships are breaking down. The diversity he refers to in modern family arrangements leads us directly to Damien Riggs’s work on lesbian and gay parenting: he deals directly with the myths and popular perceptions in this area.
