Happy Ever After? How Marriage Impacts Our Health & Happiness (October 25, 2019)
We are in the midst of a marital revolution.
Your grandmother probably never felt that she had the option of staying single, and once married she probably had little say in how that marriage was organized. Your mother knew that staying single was an option, but marriage in her generation looked very much like her grandmother’s marriage. Today, like never before, we have choices around marriage—not just in whether or not we will get married but we are freer to have the types of marriages that we want. Has all this choice made us happier and healthier?
Join four UBC faculty members for an evening of conversation as we take on one of the most challenging questions of our time.
Speakers:
Dr. Marina Adshade, Faculty Member, Vancouver School of Economics
Mandy Len Catron, Adjunct Professor, Creative Writing Program
Dr. Yue Qian, Assistant Professor, Sociology
Dr. Carrie Jenkins, Professor, Philosophy
