3 Credits This course will provide an overview of the family from a sociological perspective. The family is considered to be one of the most private and pervasive social institutions in society. All of us have had contact with at least one family, and many of us will be involved in several different families in our lifetime. The family also is undergoing numerous transformations. To obtain a better understanding of these changes, recent sociological research and data on the family will be utilized in this course. The course is organized into three sections. After looking at family issues and controversies, we will turn our attention to thinking sociologically about families. For example, how do gender, race, and ethnicity influence family life? The next section of the course will investigate families over the life course. Some of these issues will include sexuality, marriage, divorce, work life, parenthood, and child rearing. Prerequisite: SOC101.
