Items related to Families in Context
This updated edition brings the study of the family into the era of Barack Obama. A hallmark of Families in Context remains the well-researched, data-driven nature of the text. Beyond thoroughly updated statistics, a new chapter explores the family and public issues under the administration of George W. Bush and now under the leadership of Obama. Another new essay explores questions of bias in the study of the family, in public debates, and in textbooks. These new chapters are ideal for spurring classroom discussion or student papers.

The breadth of knowledge required to teach a number of subjects in a small sociology department has informed his topical coverage of marriages and families. He has also published and presented papers in gender, crime, human sexuality, and domestic violence.
