Examining Fatherhood Across Family System Practices
This course examines the cultural perspective in ways in which fatherhood, marriage, and families vary across cultures in relation to differences in social traditions and practices, socio-political systems, and modes of subsistence. The synthesis of these two perspectives consists of understanding socio-cultural variability in human paternal behavior in the context of human evolutionary adaptations to past and ongoing social and ecological pressures.
