Fall, 2005                                                               Soc. 210: The Family

Course Description:

Using our main textbook as a guide, the library, and the internet, we will explore--through readings, videos, lectures, projects and discussions--how sociology might help us to understand "family" today, in a dramatically changing world.

Course Objectives:

A main objective of this course is to help participants become familiar with key terms, questions and perspectives in sociological study of "the family."

In the process we will encourage each other to find ways to "do sociology"--to develop a "sociological imagination"--as a means of understanding (if not doing something about) factors and issues that currently shape families in our society today.
