Course Description

This course examines the historical and contemporary development of families with a focus on American trends. We explore the way families have changed over time with respect to class and racial/ethnic variations, the division of labor and social power within families, and communication patterns within households. We will also research the stressors affecting families (e.g., divorce, addiction, loss, immigration issues) and the types of family and community resources that support families through these times. We also devote a portion of our time to relating our own family autobiographies to the broader context of American families.
