This course will highlight important changes in the family, both within and outside the United States, including comparisons with resource-poor settings. We will explore the choices that are available to various family members as well as the constraints that often limit these choices. We will examine roles, responsibilities and obligations of family members both over the individual life course and the family life cycle. Specifically, we will look at:
- defining “the family”
- trends in family structure and social relations, both within and outside the United States
- gender, cohabitation, marriage & work
- parenting and intergenerational relations
- family power, conflict, and domestic violence
- divorce and remarriage
- role and care of older adults in the family
