Book Description

This openly licensed  first edition approaches contemporary families from an equity lens. It was created by a Human Development and Family Services (HDFS) faculty member and 13 students from a variety of majors at Linn-Benton Community College (LBCC), using an open pedagogy approach.  It is framed with these questions: “What do families need?” and “ How do social structures support or get in the way of families getting what they need?”

The expanded and revised pre-publication second edition is available now here: https://openoregon.pressbooks.pub/families2nd2e/ New chapters focus on parenting, caregiving, culture, and safety with additional features including discussion questions and activities. Published by Open Oregon Educational Resources, the expanded work includes chapters by contributing authors from multiple institutions, as well as contributions from LBCC student authors.
