Unhitched by Judith Stacey Impatient with the unyielding positions taken in the battle over same-sex marriage in America, professor of Social and Cultural Analysis and Sociology at NYU Judith Stacey traveled the world in search of what it means to be married. From South Africa where same-sex marriage and polygamy are both legal, to Southwestern China’s unique, maternal-centered, non-marrying Mosuo culture, Stacey encountered people in satisfying relationships that defy our ideal of marriage in modern America. Through these stories of diverse families, Stacey challenges the notion that a nuclear family is the single, best way to raise children and provide intimacy and care to one another. She joins us this hour.
