About the course
Aim
After completion of the course, the student should, on an advanced level, be able to:
- discuss theories in the social sciences that concerns the family and reproduction
- analyse how societal norms about the family and relations between children, parenthood and society are expressed in various social and cultural settings
- problematize the concept of the family and discuss the conditions for family life taking into consideration aspects such as family structure, gender relations as well as cultural conditions
Content
The course deals with the concepts of family, parenthood, as well as on children’s relations within the family. It does so with the aid of theoretical perspectives from the social sciences concerned with practices of family life as well as societal norms about the family in different social and cultural contexts. The course focuses on critical reflection as a tool for analysing and problematizing the concept of the family, as well as family practices and conditions, taking into consideration aspects such as family structure, gender relations, and cultural conditions.
