4 p.m., Basement, Evelyn Chapel – ReligiosiTEA: What is "love": A Conversation with Assistant Professor of Sociology Courtney Irby – What is “love”? How do we show it? If movies, television, and books are to be believed, love is too ephemeral to be so easily defined. And yet, social expectations shape every aspect of relationships, from how people are expected to show love to when we consider it appropriate to fall in love. Come hear Assistant Professor of Sociology Courtney Irby discuss how American cultural understandings of love have changed over time and what this reveals about shifting gender norms. She'll also be discussing her own research studying love, sex, and relationships among conservative religious communities.
