Description:

Examining varieties of, and changes in, American families in the last 300 years, this course focuses on the connections between people's work lives and their family lives, on the relat ionship between public and private realms, and on the differing historical roles of women and men. Unlike most casual discussion of "the family," which assumes that everyone understands what "family values" are all about, thiscourse will question our assumptions about family life and measure them against historical families, from the Puritans to 1950s suburbanites.
