This course provides an overview of the family from a sociological perspective. We will work together to challenge and expand our own personal understandings of family. We will explore different stages of family life, including family formation (such as marriage and cohabitation), transition to parenthood, childhood, intergenerational relationships, divorce and remarriage, and inequality within families. As we proceed, we will interrogate diversity in family forms, considering how race, class, gender, and sexuality shape our experiences of family.
