To study American culture, this semester's version of the Introduction to American Studies class explores adoption. Beginning with U.S. adoption's modern historical roots, adoption serves as the extended case study. Considering notions of family, students probe the law, history, public policy, ethics, gender, race, class, and parenting, while examining transracial, gay, domestic, international, and private versus public adoption.
