Preferred term

kinship networks  

Definition

  • Kinship networks are defined broadly as extended family, including biological relationships, genealogy, marriage, and other self-ascribed associations, beyond the family nucleus of parents and dependent children. Kinship is not conceptualized as a fixed meaning of natural or genealogical relationship but as a socially and culturally constructed and maintained network of individuals in constant flux. [Source: Encyclopedia of Social Networks; Kinship Networks]
