Line chart from the US Census Bureau shows age at first marriage.This dipped down from 26 for men and 22 for women in 1890 to about 20 for women and 22 for men in the 1950s and ‘60s. The lines then rise quickly to 2020, when there is again a slight dip downwards. In 2022, the median age of first marriage was about 30 for men and 28 for women.

“The Scientific Process” A circle of arrows around the words Scientific Process. The top arrow says Identify a Social Issue or Find a Research Topic and Ask a Question. This points to the next arrow, which says review existing literature and sources. Build a broad understanding of work previously conducted, identify gaps in understanding of the topic, and position your own research to build on prior knowledge. The next arrow says Formulate a Hypothesis: What are the general causes of the phenomenon you’re wondering about? The next arrow says Select a Research Method and Design a Study: Select a research method appropriate to answer your question. Typically, your research question influences the method you will use. The next arrow says Collect data: Collect information on the topic using the research design. The next arrow says Analyze data: Organize and analyze the data after it is collected. If the analysis does or does not support the hypothesis, discuss implications for theory or policy. From here there is an arrow that goes back to Select a Research Method that says Based on findings, what new questions do you have? How can these new questions help develop future projects? Another arrow from Analyze Data continues the circle and says Report Findings: Share results at conferences and in academic journals. Before the conclusions of a study are widely accepted, the studies are often repeated. New research questions may emerge to inspire more research projects. This arrow points back to the top arrow where we started. There is also an attribution statement saying this image is CC BY 4.0 and created by Jennifer Puentes and Michaela Willi Hooper.

The theories in the book are represented by icons and brief definitions.

  • Ecological Systems Theory states that individuals are part of a group of concentric systems, impacting their development. It’s symbolized by a series of six concentric circles.
  • Social Exchange Theory states that individuals enter into relationships via the evaluation of costs and benefits. It’s symbolized by scales.
  • Life Course Theory states that individual actions are influenced by their linked lives, social & historical events. It’s symbolized by a globe.
  • Structural Diversity Theory states that social structures shape all families, but in different ways. It’s symbolized by a wheel shape with concentric circles.
  • Feminist Theory states that society is structured in a way that privileges men over women; goal is to transform inequalities. It’s symbolized by the equals sign.
  • Postmodernist Theory states that society emphasizes choice, reflexivity and individuality. It’s symbolized by a question mark.
  • Symbolic Interactionist Theory states that the changing nature of social symbols affects current and future interactions. It’s symbolized by the icon of a landline phone with an arrow pointing to a smartphone.

A line chart shows that, in 2009, child poverty was measured at 20.7% by the official measure and 17% by the supplemental poverty measure (SPM). The SPM continues to be lower, and in 2021 falls steeply to 5.2%. Since 2019 the official measure has diverged from the SPM and in 2021 stands at 15.3%.

Notes: Adapted from: https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/09/record-drop-in-child-poverty.html. Population as of March the following year. Official* includes unrelated individuals under 15. The Supplemental Poverty Measure (SPM) estimates for 2019 and beyond reflect the implementation of revised SPM methodology. The data for 2017 and beyond used an updated processing system. The data for 2013 and beyond use different questions about income. The data points are placed at the midpoints of the respective years.

Overview

A multicolored wheel that visualizes an individual’s or group’s relationship to power and privilege. From a center that says power, two intersecting lines with arrows at each end point outwards and are labeled marginalization. There are 16 slices or segments in the wheel. Each segment represents categories of identities or social locations. Social locations near the center of the wheel experience more power. Social locations near the edge of the wheel experience more oppression and are more marginalized. Gray words outside the circle indicate forms of oppression and discrimination directed at people with those social identities.

Please keep in mind that as we try to describe the relationships between socially constructed power and identity, the categories we use can be imprecise, overlapping, and unstable.

A line chart shows the arrest rate per 100,000 people for Black people and white people from 2010 – 2018. The Black arrest rate is much higher, starting around 650, dropping to just under 500 in 2015, and then going back up to around 600 in 2018. The white arrest rate follows a similar trend but is much lower, between 100 and 200. Arrest rates were lower in 2018 than in 2010 for both Black and white people, but remained much higher for Black people.

A heading on a note reads, “I like being Autistic because:” and is surrounded by brightly colored doodles of a yellow lightbulb and a pink brain with a red heart inside. The next part of the note reads, “The same parts of my brain that disable me, also allow me to develop multi-disciplinary talents. Nevermind savantism; I have many skills which I attribute to the exact same aspects of my neurology that handicap me. Disability is nothing to be ashamed of and the spectrum is rife with ability too!”
