Dear Researchers,
The family, as the most essential and foundational institution in integrating individuals into the society into which they are born, holds vital importance for the existence and continuity of social life. It plays a key role in the emotional, social, and physical development of individuals while simultaneously ensuring social continuity and cohesion by transmitting cultural values across generations. A strong family thus signifies a strong society. Yet, like all institutions, the family is inevitably affected by the rapid changes and transformations of the modern world—making its role more significant than ever. In this context, the year 2025 has been officially declared as “The Year of the Family” by the President of the Republic of Türkiye.
In line with this declaration, the Journal of Adıyaman University Institute of Social Sciences will publish a special issue themed “Family and Society” to explore the critical role of the family within the social structure. We aim to deepen academic dialogue on the topic by bringing together interdisciplinary contributions from scholars across various fields. This special issue seeks to examine the concept of the family from diverse perspectives—social, cultural, economic, legal, and psychological—and to offer meaningful scholarly contributions to the Year of the Family.
We welcome original research articles related to the themes listed below. However, submissions are not limited to these topics.
