DESCRIPTION
This course examines gender from psychological, sociological, and cultural perspectives. It explores how and why social expectations, norms, and opportunities are systematically linked to gender and the impact this has on society and people's experiences.
In addition to gender, this course takes an intersectionality approach to examine how race, ethnicity, class, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability interact to transform experiences at the individual, interpersonal, and cultural levels. The course is designed to help students recognize the impact of gender on human experiences and relationships and to understand that assumptions about gender have social implications. Students will learn to understand the complexity and diversity of gendered experiences in the social environments of their own and other cultures.
