Introducing Global Social Challenges Journal: Non-profit, open access publishing for change
How can we re-imagine society in an era of climate change, pandemic, hunger, poverty and other pressing global societal challenges? Significant threats and dangers lie ahead of us, but so do opportunities. This new fully open access, not for profit journal aims to facilitate thinking about these positive new trajectories and become the journal of choice to address the complexities of global social challenges across disciplines.
Global Social Challenges Journal will be the first such journal to be based in the social sciences, whilst engaging with research from all fields of study. It will be an important home for research which contributes to the creation of alternative futures that are socially and environmentally just and sustaining.

Celebrating 10 years of Families, Relationships and Societies
To mark this occasion we’re making highlights from the journal free to access throughout 2021. We are kicking this off by making our latest special issue free to access until 30 April:
Special issue: Relationality in family and intimate practices
Guest Edited by Katherine Twamley, Andrea Doucet and Eva-Maria Schmidt
This special issue explores the relational ties that shape family practices and decisions, and the ways that scholars work with relationality – theoretically, methodologically, epistemologically, ontologically – in their family research.
What does Rachel Carson have to do with family sociology and family policies? Ecological imaginaries, relational ontologies, and crossing social imaginaries
Andrea Doucet
Karen Barad’s posthumanist relational ontology: an intra-active approach to theorising and studying family practices
