What follows is a compendium of articles resulting from the database search. We looked for articles that attended to all aspects of the pedagogy of teaching family sociology, from esoteric issues like paradigm choices to the more pragmatic choices about how course content is delivered. We found a wide range of scholarship reaching as far back as 1974, covering issues from the personal to the political. All of the articles reflect the complexity of the task that faces those who teach family sociology. One theme that unites all of the scholarship is the excitement that the subject matter can inspire. The struggles that are inherent in making decisions about how to develop these courses mirror the complexity of family life, and perhaps that is why so many of us have been compelled to share how we have traversed this territory with our students. There is much to be learned from those who have explored, tussled, and experimented with ways to teach students family sociology, the textual history of our largely oral tradition. }, journal={TRAILS: Teaching Resources and Innovations Library for Sociology}, author={Laughlin, Martha and Lowney, Kathleen and Warner, Kate}, year={2010}, month={Apr.} }
