They both shape our individual lives and social world, and are fundamentally shaped by our society and history. In this course, we will make use of a variety of texts in exploring the family - with a focus on the American family - through the twentieth century. We will look at cultural notions of what families "should" beand social realities of what families actually have been/are in terms of marriage and sexuality, work, popular culture, domestic violence, and law and social policy. Throughout the term, we will consider differences and similarities in the experiences of families across lines of class, race, gender and sexual orientation. Offered spring semester.
