SOCL2220

This course interweaves social science and the humanities to examine diverse family forms. Major emphasis is placed on a macrostructural analysis of families, both historically and in the present. We will examine how families and family members are affected by differences in race, gender, social class, sexuality, and global locations. In turn, special attention will be given to transnational families and the feminization of migration to illustrate how the global is increasingly local today.
