HOW TO
"AIN'T I A WOMAN?" MOTHERHOOD AND STATUS DEPRIVATION
Willie Melton
Michigan Technological University
Description: The proposed exercises are to be used in my Sociology of Family and my Society and Power courses. The exercise would seem to work best with readings or discussions of gender, family structure, social stratification and life chances. The activity begins with a modified version of an SSDAN exercise created created by Elizabeth Jordan, “The Explosion of Teenage Motherhood: Myth or Reality?” The concluding activity, exercise 2, is designed to give students an introduction to generating and testing a formal hypothesis.
