Conversations with top social scientists about their research and the social world. Produced by The Society Pages.
Stanford sociologist Marianne Cooper [1] is a leading expert in the field of gender and family dynamics. Her latest book, Cut Adrift: Families in Insecure Times [2], details her efforts to understand how families representing an array of social classes perceive and manage contemporary economic anxieties. She and guest-host Sarah Catherine Billups discuss the many ways that these problems often fall to wives and mothers, even amongst those who have transcended gender boundaries in professional life.
