No Slippery Slopes: Same-Sex Couples, Monogamy & the Future of Marriage
Will same-sex marriage lead to more radical marriage reform? Should it? Some warn of a dramatically slippery slope from same-sex marriage toward legalizing polygamy and adult incest, and the dissolution of marriage as we know it; others embrace such changes. Professor Macedo argues that both sides are wrong: the same principles of democratic justice that demand marriage equality for same sex couples also lend support to monogamous marriage.
Stephen Macedo is Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Politics and the University Center for Human Values at Princeton University and the author of, Just Married: Same-Sex Couples, Monogamy, and the Future of Marriage (Princeton University Press, 2015).

Throughout the year leading up to the centennial, engagement opportunities will be held for our diverse, highly accomplished community that now boasts more than 38,500 alumni across the globe.
