Course Objectives: | This course employs a variety of Sociological frameworks to analyze various gender issues as well as family arrangements and practices in contemporary societies. It also examines relationships between family and other institutions in society from a gender perspective. It encourages students to understand the social institution of the family in all its complexity through a study of his/her own family, as well as comparative work on families worldwide. |
