The categorisation of &#8216;human&#8217; and &#8216;kinship&#8217; is brought into question and this book examines who might be excluded through adherence to accepted categories and how a critical lens may broaden our understanding of caring relationships.\u00a0Bringing together a diverse array of analytic foci and theoretical lenses,\u00a0<i>Critical Kinship Studies<\/i>\u00a0opens up new avenues for understanding what it means to be in relationships with others, and in so doing challenges the human exceptionalism that has often limited how we think about family, loss, love and subjectivity.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Very excited that my new book with Professor Elizabeth Peel &#8211; Critical Kinship Studies: An Introduction to the Field &#8211; is\u00a0available to purchase\u00a0from Palgrave Macmillan.
