For one semester/quarter courses on Marriage and Families, Sociology of the Family, Human Development or Family Studies.

 

By introducing the themes of “Changes, Choices and Constraints” when presenting the basic concepts, theory, research and statistics about marriages and families, Benokraitis discusses how contemporary changes in families and their structure impact the choices student’s actually have, and how society can constrain their marriages, families and relationships.  Through this approach, students are better able to understand what the research and statistics mean for themselves!

 

Seeing that there was a need for a text that reflected the issues- like race and ethnicity, remarriage and stepfamilies, and sexuality, that face students and their families, Professor Benokraitis wrote Marriage and Families as a way to show students both the choices and constraints that families face in modern society. 

 

Marriages and Families is a text designed to unveil the implications of how changes in families and their structure, as well as in society, impact the choices student’s make and their personal relationships.

 

 

 Hallmark Features of Marriage and Families include:

  

Thought-Provoking Box Series:

Reflecting and reinforcing the books primary themes, three groups of boxes focus on changes, choices, and constraints that confront today’s families.  A fourth category discusses cultural differences.

 

  • Choices feature addresses the choices brought on by recent societal changes (e.g., postponing sex and marriage, cohabiting, raising children as single or adoptive parents, and forming interracial, multigenerational, or lesbian and gay households).
    • Offers students the wide spectrum of families and encourages them to become informed about the choices they can make.
  • Constraints feature explores the macro-level constraints that limit our choices, with discussions on topics like government policies, demographic changes,  and technology, as well as the constraints that exist on the individual level–including gender, age, race, and social class.
    •  Brings the reality of everyday life to students by showing them how social policy impacts the choices they will make throughout their lives.
  • Changes feature–Examines how recent profound structural and attitudinal changes affect family forms, interpersonal relationships, and raising children. Reaches beyond the traditional discussions to explore racial-ethnic families, single-parent families and gay families as well as the recent scholarship by and about men, fathers, and grandfathers.
    • Shows students how families have changed over time and gives a glimpse of where they may be headed in the future.
  • Cross-Cultural/Multicultural boxes showcase the growing diversity of contemporary marriages and families, encouraging students to consider the many different forms that families take.

 

Critical Thinking Questions:

These boxes are applied to help students evaluate their own knowledge and acquire insights about family life.

  • “Stop and Think” critical thinking questions follow important issues in boxes throughout the textbook. These questions encourage students' reflective thought about current topics, both personally and across other cultures.
  • Making Connections” questions  ask students to connect the material to their own lives by relating it to a personal experience, integrating it with scholarly studies discussed in the chapter, or “connecting” with classmates who might be sitting next to them.

 

New to This Edition:

These two new series of boxes are applied to help students evaluate their own knowledge and acquire insights about family life.

  • NEW- Since You Asked feature is located at the beginning of each chapter provide an engaging introduction to the subject matter addressed in each chapter. It gives students a preview of the material and helps them organize their thinking.
  • NEW- “Applying What You’ve Learned” boxes emphasize the connection between research findings and students’ own feelings and experiences. The material asks students to apply what they’re reading to their own personal situations and to consider how to improve their decisions and current relationships.

Nijole V. Benokraitis, professor emerita of sociology at the University of Baltimore, taught the marriage and family course for almost 25 years. It was her favorite class but her courses in racial and ethnic relations and gender roles ran a close second. Professor Benokraitis received a B.A. in sociology and English from Emmanuel College in Boston, an M.A. in sociology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and a Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Texas at Austin.


She was a strong proponent of applied sociology and required her students to enhance their knowledge through interviews, direct observation, and other hands-on learning methods. She also enlisted her students in community service activities such as tutoring and mentoring inner-city high school students, writing to government officials and other decision makers about specific social problems, and volunteering research services to nonprofit organizations.


Professor Benokraitis immigrated to the United States from Lithuania with her family after World War II as a political refugee when she was five years old. She is bilingual and bicultural and is very empathetic of students who must balance the demands of several cultural worlds.


She has authored, co-authored, edited, or co-edited ten books, including Seeing Ourselves: Classic, Contemporary, and Cross-Cultural Readings in Sociology, Contemporary Ethnic Families in the United States: Characteristics, Variations, and Dynamics; Feuds about Families: Conservative, Centrist, Liberal, and Feminist Perspectives; and Modern Sexism: and Blatant, Subtle, and Covert Discrimination. Dr. Benokraitis has published numerous articles and book chapters on topics such as institutional racism, discrimination against women in government and higher education, fathers in two-earner families, displaced homemakers, and family policy.


She has received grants and fellowships from many institutions, including the National Institute of Mental Health, the Ford Foundation, the American Educational Research Association, the Administration on Aging, and the National Endowment for the Humanities. She has also served as a consultant in the areas of sex and race discrimination to women’s commissions, business groups, colleges and universities, federal government programs, and the American Association of University Women’s International Fellowships Program.


Dr. Benokraitis has made several appearances on radio and television shows on gender communication differences and single-sex educational institutions. She currently serves on the editorial board of Women & Criminal Justice and reviews manuscripts for several academic journals.


Professor Benokraitis lives in Maryland with her husband, Dr. Vitalius Benokraitis, a vice president at a technology assessment company. They have two adult children, Gema and Andrius.


The author looks forward (and always responds) to comments on the 7th edition of Marriages and Families: Changes, Choices, and Constraints. She can be reached at nbenokraitis@ubalt.edu.
