Distinguished Women Scholars Lecture: Dr. Paula Fass
March 1 2012, 7:00pm David Strong 116
Dr. Fass's talk, “The Child Centered Family: New Rules in Post-World War II America,"
re-examines the notion that child-centeredness has dominated middle class family life since World War II.
Instead, Fass argues that parents began to limit children's freedom and autonomy in serious ways that have
become manifest in the severe restrictions and intense supervisions of the 21st century.
