Additional Course Info | Class Number: 2482 We all come from families, and the family is therefore thought to be a well-known social institution. But family is constituted not just by our individual experiences but also as a product of historical, social, and political conditions. This course will examine how these conditions have shaped family life as we currently experience it. We will look at the social construction of the family, the psychosocial interiors of families, and how governmental policy has consistently shaped our notions of family.. Additionally, we will discuss the increasing diversity of family structures, the institution of marriage, and the social construction of childhood and parenting. The underlying framework for consistent analysis will be the gendered nature of family politics. ; Pre-requisite(s): None; Enrollment Limit: 25.00; Lottery Preference(s): 15 spaces reserved for first year students.
