Fathers, Families and Relationships: Researching Everyday Lives

This collection brings together scholars of fatherhood from Europe and Scandinavia to offer unique insights into how to research fathers and fatherhood in contemporary society. Outlining research methods in detail, including examples of large-scale studies, online research, surveys and visual, and aural methods, they explore how each approach works in practice, what the benefits and pitfalls are, and what the wider future applications of the chosen research methods might be. Covering a wide range of subjects, from non-resident fathers to father engagement in child protection, this major contribution will be essential reading for both students and policy makers.
