Description

This season, we're diving into the hallowed institution of marriage. We want to know why so many people are getting so whipped up over the ways that Americans are — or are not — forming relationships and building families. Why marriage is becoming, once again, the catch-all policy solution for all of our country's challenges. And what becomes possible when we broaden our imaginations around what relationships can look like. We'll go beyond the rosy sheen of love and commitment and expose the darker side to all of this marriage talk — one that we have to pay attention to, if we want to maintain our social progress in this country.

White Picket Fence interrogates the structures of inequity affecting women since America’s founding. Host Julie Kohler unpacks how white womanhood and the conception of the nuclear family were constructed and how they affect our culture, politics, and policies—in ways that hurt all of us. Join us in exploring where America—and Americans—have fallen short and what we can do to create a better future.
