Sociology of the Family explores the structure, dynamics, and diverse forms of family life across cultures and societies. This course examines how families are shaped by and respond to broader social forces such as gender, race, class, sexuality, and public policy. Students will analyze topics including marriage, parenting, kinship, family diversity, and changes over the life course, while also considering the impact of social change on family roles and relationships. Through theoretical perspectives and empirical research, the course fosters a deeper understanding of both the challenges and resilience characterizing family life in contemporary society.
