Fathering in the 21st century has gained significant prominence among scholars who have acknowledged the relevance of fathers in families. However, our understanding of diverse fathering in various contexts such as immigrant and ethnic minority contexts, “nontraditional” fathers (e.g., foster fathers), has significantly lagged . Thus, this collection of articles, Contextualizing Theoretical and Methodological Perspectives on Ethnic Minority and Diverse Fathers, includes five papers that challenge contemporary theories and methodologies to bring greater insights into the complexities of fathering and fatherhood. These articles are intended to encourage researchers to critically reflect on the contexts and diversity of fathers (e.g., immigrant, diverse ethnic backgrounds) and whether theories need to be modified or components of the theory need greater attention to be more reflective of fathers of today.

种族和多样化的父亲：推进研究

21 世纪的父亲在承认父亲在家庭中的相关性的学者中获得了显着的重视。然而，我们对不同背景下的多样化父亲的理解，例如移民和少数民族背景，“非传统”父亲（例如养父），已经明显滞后。因此，这本文章集，将少数族裔和不同父亲的理论和方法论观点情境化，包括五篇挑战当代理论和方法的论文，以更深入地了解父亲和父亲的复杂性。这些文章旨在鼓励研究人员批判性地反思父亲的背景和多样性（例如，移民、不同种族背景），以及是否需要修改理论或理论的组成部分是否需要更多关注以更好地反映当今的父亲。
