Family And Demographic Sociology

Theorists studying family structure, marriage, parenting, fertility, divorce and the life course as social institutions shaped by class, race and historical change rather than as purely private or biological arrangements. This group gathers theorists of family change, poverty's effects on parenting and child outcomes, and the demographic study of how family forms have shifted across the twentieth and twenty first centuries.
