SOC-230 Sex and Gender
SOC 230 examines the social forces that shape our lives by gender, beginning by distinguishing between the concepts of gender and sex. The course emphasizes awareness of the many forms of gender diversity, and explores the intersections of gender with race, class, and sexuality. The course will cover areas such as "gender and the body" (including beauty, sexuality, and interpersonal violence),"gender and social institutions" (including family, economy, politics, education, and religion), and "gender and social change" (including feminist, anti-feminist, LGBTQ, and other gender-related movements).
