What shapes our expectations of love in today's world? How do we define loving "on our terms"? And in our quest for connection, what drives our fears, hopes, and choices?Modern romance promises unprecedented freedom: dating apps claim to match us with ideal partners, social media experts warn us of relationship pitfalls, and self-help literature guides us through every stage—from heartbreak to healing. We've never had more tools to craft our perfect love story. For many, especially in heterosexual relationships, this promise of romantic self-determination feels both liberating and within reach.
Yet beneath this illusion of complete freedom lies a more complex reality. Our emotional vocabulary, our understanding of "healthy" relationships, and our very vision of love are deeply influenced by forces beyond our control—social expectations, political currents, and economic realities. These invisible hands shape our most intimate choices in ways we rarely recognize. To understand modern love, we need what sociologists call "sociological imagination"—a lens that reveals how our personal romantic journeys connect to broader social patterns.
Join sociologist and journalist Polina Aronson for an eye-opening exploration of these themes.
