1 1 Sociology of the Family (Sociology 310) Spring Quarter, 2015 Tuesday and Thursday, 12:30 p.m. 1:50 p.m., 555 Clark St. Room B01 Dr. Christine Wood Office Hours: Tuesday and Thursday, 10am 11am, 1810 Chicago Ave. Room 201 COURSE DESCRIPTION This course will explore the social and cultural dynamics of families in industrialized countries. We will consider the modern family as an institution with a social and cultural history. The course engages the theoretical and historical definition of family, patterns and shifts in marriage and partner selection trends, and changes in family structures in modern societies. The course begins with an exploration of the meaning of the family in sociological, historical, and cultural terms. Next, we consider marriage and partner selection in historical context, by exploring changes in peoples intentions to marry and form families. We then explore the social makeup of families, by discussing changes in family structure and the processes that resulted in those changes, including the rising numbers of women in the workplace and the extension of marriage rights to lesbian and gay couples. Finally, we engage the meaning of the modern family in theoretical terms, by returning to the question of what makes a family, the values inherent to family life, and the possibilities for redefining the meaning of family. COURSE FORMAT The course will consist of some lecture and a good deal of discussion. As this is an upper-division course, the emphasis will be on written assignments. Written assignments will focus on the readings and class discussions as well as your own independent research. The family is an active topic of discussion inside and outside of academia. We will utilize multiple types of media in the course, such as films and news reports. Because the family is a potentially sensitive and controversial topic, students are asked to respect the opinions of their peers during discussions. Students are also encouraged to post links to scholarly and news articles they find relevant on the course discussion board, which is an open space for respectful discussion and dialogue. Though not required, posts to the board will factor favorably in my assessment of your class participation. COURSE REQUIREMENTS Participation and Attendance: 20% Attendance is mandatory. Students are asked to sign-in before class each day. Discussion is a major component of this course, and students should come to class having completed the readings and thought about the material.
2 2 Take-Home Midterm Examination: 40% The take-home final will consist of an essay of 5-7 pages. You will have one week to complete the assignment. The assignment will draw exclusively on topics and materials discussed in class. I will announce the particulars of the assignment on April 14. The assignment is due in class on April 23. Short Research Paper: 40% The paper (10-12 pages) will require you to select an area of interest in family studies (examples abound: the division of household labor, stay-at-home fathers, changes in divorce patterns, same-sex marriage rights), and write a literature review that compares the popular media s treatment of the issue (choose 5-7 news media articles) with scholarly treatment of the issue (choose 5-7 main academic sources). At least 3 of the academic sources must not be on the syllabus. I will announce the assignment on May 28. The paper will be due on June 5 by 5 p.m. ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Please familiarize yourself with Northwestern s policies regarding academic integrity:
