Abstract	The "Journal of Family & Consumer Sciences" ("JFCS") reflects the broad scope and reach of the family and consumer sciences (FCS) discipline through its inclusion of Scholarship, Practice, Strategies, Features, Reflections, and other articles that span content areas, settings, populations, issues, and methodologies. Recently, several "JFCS" Features have addressed the importance of disciplinary positioning for future relevance and impact (Carroll et al., 2017; Hall, 2015; McGregor et al., 2015). A new decade provides an opportunity to reflect on recent disciplinary trends showcased in "JFCS," including the topics that appear most frequently and how FCS professionals are addressing them. The purpose of this paper is to enable such reflection by presenting an overview of "JFCS" submissions over the past 10 years (2009--2018). In this paper, the overview of "JFCS" submissions is discussed in the context of the FCS Body of Knowledge (FCS-BOK). Over the past 20 years, the FCS-BOK has provided a framework for the discipline, indicating what is important (Roubanis, 2013), guiding research (Nickols et al., 2009), and helping universities mold committed FCS professionals (Reibolt et al., 2016; Walker et al., 2015). It consists of three categories: (a) Core Concepts (basic human needs, community vitality, individual well-being, and family strength), (b) Integrative Elements (human eco-system and life course development), and (c) Cross-Cutting Themes (capacity building, global interdependence, resource development, appropriate use of technology, and wellness) (Lee et al., 2015; Nickols et al., 2009). Review of "JFCS" disciplinary trends against the FCS-BOK would provide an opportunity to identify those elements in the FCS-BOK that have been well-covered (or not) in the past decade; and would suggest the continued relevance of the FCS-BOK in shaping professional work and dissemination.
