This course explores the nature and meaning of individuals’ ties to other members of society from childhood to old age. Specifically, the course examines social ties, networks, and roles across the life span in the context of topics such as the life course (e.g., socialization and transitions), family groups, work and social capital, and friends/leisure. We will examine these topics in light of societal change and their implications for inequality.
