There are many fields that study divorce and stepfamilies. However, our work is disparate and often does not overlap. For this discussion, please list your field (and your geographic area for clarification), the journals that have published your work (or have published the work of others in your field), and your dream interdisciplinary collaboration.
Here is my list for an example:
Field: Communication Studies (United States)- specializing in Family Communication
Journals: Journal of Divorce and Remarriage, Communication Research Reports, Qualitative Research Reports, Behavioral Sciences
Dream Collaboration: Psych, Soc, Family Studies, History (history of the family - Stephanie Coontz style).
Overall, I hope this discussion opens our minds to the fields, methods, and researchers examining the subject that we are all passionate about. Let's change the world!
Field: Sociology - looking at notion of femininity and how it influences divorce, repartnership, etc
Possible journals to publish: Journal of Family Studies, Family and Marriage
Collaboration: Family Studies
Rather than change the world or reinvent the wheel, I decided to explain the world in my neck of the woods, Asia per se. I am conducting research on the meaning of marriage in Confucian cultures, specifically in Japan.
f. sigmund Topor agree. I work in Malaysia mainly focusing on Malaysian Indian women.
