Announcements

Journals that Publish Qualitative Research

Sometimes people ask us which journals would publish qualitative research related to families. There are many that do, and we don't have a systematic, all-encompassing list of them. However, we asked this question at the QFRN Business Meeting in 2010, and got several ideas.

Recommended Readings

Qualitative Methods Course Syllabi & Other Resourses

If you have taught a class in qualitative methods and you think the syllabus would be valuable to family scholars, please send it to us and we will post it here so that other members can learn from it also. We also post other resources that can be helpful to members of QFRN.
