How Do Men Prepare for Fatherhood?

A new special issue of the Journal of Family Issues (August 2013) explores men’s roles in matters related to family planning, conception, abortion, adoption and preparing for childbirth.  The issue arose from a panel at the International Sociology Association World Conference in Buenos Aires in 2012.  The guest editors of the collection are Dr Maria Lohan (Queen’s University Belfast), Prof William Marsiglio (University of Florida) and Prof Lorraine Culley (De Monfort University).
