Stephanie Coontz
A noted author and researcher on the subject of marriage and family, Stephanie Coontz shares some surprising facts with the Rev. Dr. Joan Brown Campbell, Chautauqua’s Director of Religion about the state of families in America today. Are two parents better than one? And what if they are gay or lesbian? What role does religion play in marriage? Do those professing to be born again or those professing to be agnostics divorce more often? With many complicated step-families, what happens to a child who has 3 or 4 sets of grandparents? We invite you to listen.

I am greatly impressed with the breadth of Dr. Coontz vision of the family and the clarity with which she expresses her ideas. Her ability to answer the 'question behind the question' enlivens and expands this discussion.
Thank you for a fascinating and complex view of the family and its relationship to its society.
