This course explores the transformation of family life in the modern world through a global lens. Specific topics we will cover include dating and mate selection, love and romance, cohabitation, marriage, divorce, and parenting. We will examine how broader social forces such as globalization, technological development, and race/class/gender inequalities have affected intimate relationships. Some of the questions we will discuss include: How are seemingly personal matters such as love and sex shaped by global economics and politics? What are some of the new desires, pleasures, and emotions that have emerged in the 21st century and through what processes are they circulated as commodities across cultural and geographical borders? This course explores family formation both within and outside the U.S. and encourages students to consider themselves part of a complex and fast-changing global environment. Prerequisite: SOCI 100 or permission of the instructor
