Title: The Family, Gender, & Politics
Course Section Number: PSC-231-01
Department: Political Science
Description: Cross List: PSC-231 = GEN-231 = PPE-231. Does the family trap people in particular roles? Does a citizen's attachment to his family threaten the power of the state? Or does the family help facilitate a relationship between the individual and society by teaching social values? The Family, Gender, and Politics will explore competing understandings of the family and its impact on political life. The course will trace interpretations of the family from those that require highly differentiated gender roles to those that aspire to more egalitarian roles. We will ask how politics impacts the changing modern family, critically exploring different policy approaches to contemporary issues relating to the family. This course will satisfy the Diversity Requirement for the PPE major.
