Under that interpretation, there is no special focus on single straight men below the age of 60, or on straight male orphans. Don't box yourself in too tightly! In all seriousness, though, it sounds interesting and I look forward to reading the posts. Ingrid has just been given a big grant… to do research on social justice and the new welfare state, with a special focus on parenthood, gender and the elderly.

When I hear gender, I tend to assume that means women’s + gay & lesbian issues. Under that interpretation, there is no special focus on single straight men below the age of 60, or on straight male orphans. Don’t box yourself in too tightly!

In all seriousness, though, it sounds interesting and I look forward to reading the posts.
