WS 252 - Gender, Families and Close Relationships

Type of Course: First Seminar
The primary objective of this seminar is to explore how intimate family relationships change and develop over time, and the role of gender in understanding close relationships. We will examine how popular culture and everyday family life reflect and perpetuate patterns of gender inequality. Gender relations and family life are so intertwined it is impossible to understand one without paying attention to the other. We will explore concepts such as gender, family, masculinity, and femininity, to name just a few. In addition, we will examine the ways that larger social, economic and political structures shape the meanings we give to family, gender and close relationships. Seminar participants are expected to engage fully with the readings and actively participate in class discussion.
