The Journal of Family Life, a new multimedia Web site at Emory University, launched May 1, 2009. The journal, created and produced by Emory Center for Myth and Ritual in American Life (MARIAL) is interdisciplinary and peer-reviewed.

Editors envision it as a gathering place for ideas and information addressing all aspects of American family life in the beginning of the 21st century. Rather than publishing specific issues, the editors will post submissions as soon as they have been reviewed and cleared for publication.

The editors welcome feedback.  Please email your comments to us.

The journal is supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Marshall Duke is journal editor and professor of psychology at Emory. Elizabeth Kurylo is managing editor.

Scholars at MARIAL began developing the Journal of Family Life a year ago. MARIAL is one of five Sloan Centers on Working Families, supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. The launch and publication of the journal is made possible by the generosity of the Sloan Foundation and Emory University.
