This assignment asks you to consider the subtle (and not so subtle) cultural programing we are exposed to that locates marriage as “natural”, “expected”, and a “healthy” expectation in a typical life-course trajectory. Students are invited to choose a cultural artifact from any of the following sources: Social media sites such as Tik Tok/IG Reels, YouTube, film or tv, news outlets, or government policy statements. Your chosen cultural artifact should be put into a conversation with the assigned weekly course material with specific focus on the “compulsory” aspect of marriage and/or the ways in which hierarchies of gender, sexuality and race are reinforced through marriage- regimes.
