Gay Marriage, the Supreme Court, and the Politics of Sociology

Please join us for a discussion with Philip Cohen, professor of sociology at the University of Maryland at College Park, and expert on social and family inequality, on the intersections of law, religion, and sociology in the context of gay marriage. Cohen will speak on the aftermath of the 2012 Regnerus Study, funded largely by conservative foundations, which suggested that growing up with gay or lesbian parents was harmful to children.

This event is part of the Clayman Institute's 2012-2013 theme which focuses on moving beyond barriers between work, family, and society. Gay marriage currently lies at the forefront of the debate on work and family inequality.
