The relationship between self and society across the life course is explored. Students are encouraged to reflect on and question common-sense 'truths' about society, social behaviour and themselves. Social theories including modernism and postmodernism are surveyed for their usefulness in understanding issues at various points across the family life courses, such as childhood, adolescence, parenthood and aging.
