No longer offered. It’s in Waterloo’s scanned calendars from 1971–72 to 1976–77; the 1995–96 to 2023–24 calendars are on ucalendar.
The course is designed essentially to assess the role of the family in society. This will be done primarily on the basis of an analysis of the institutions of the family and marriage on a cross cultural basis. The universality of the family has always been proclaimed by Anthropologists. This view will be challenged in the light of relatively recent ethnographic materials which tend to establish the fact that this proclaimed universality is not absolute. The biological basis of the family will be examined in some detail, and an attempt will be made to establish the family as a biosocial unit. Courtship, mate selection and divorce, as well as a brief overview of human sexuality and the role of sex in marriage and family stability will be examined. Prerequisite: Sociology 101* or permission of the instructor. 3 hours, lectures and tutorial. Instructor: J. Alleyne 392 § Professor, Chairman Professor, Associate Chairman Professors Associate Professors Assistant Professors Instructors
