Family Sociology Concentration
The family concentration focuses on the development of the individual in the context of family and society. It also provides an overview of gendered history and family history in their economic, social, cultural and political contexts. Special attention is given to ideas about gendered roles inside and outside the family and how this relates to the realities of women's experiences. The program is designed to prepare students for:
- Professional careers in a variety of human service areas
- Leadership roles in school and the community
- Graduate education
The family concentration covers the family life cycle, feminist theories, human development from infancy to old age, family relational dynamics, and interconnections with other social systems of inequality.
