FAMILY

This section includes Professor Hacker’s academic work on gender and family, ranging from popular views of working women in the United States to cross-cultural definitions and conceptualizations of family roles. Sociologists’ measurement of family structures has changed dramatically over time, allowing for consideration of more varied and diverse family forms.
