Gay Family Ideologies

[Litosseliti, Evangelia]

Dear Sarah,
 
I can recommend a paper by Roona Simpson, published at the Gender Institute (London School of Economics, UK), and which is part of her PhD research:
'Contemporary Spinsters in the New Millenium: Changing Notions of Family and Kinship'
It includes a bibliography which you'd find useful.
 
Best wishes,
 
Lia

Subject: Gay Family Ideologies


Hello,

I'm working on a project that looks at lesbian (and maybe gay) parents' ideologies about "family", its construction and its realization in their lives.  Because my broader research questions deal with conversation and negotiation of roles within the family context, my aim is to get a good look at what these parents believe family is or should be for them.  Does anyone on the list have knowledge of an existing survey of family ideologies that I could use and modify for my purposes?  I greatly appreciate any help you might be able to provide.  

Thank you.
