SOC 303 - Sociology of Gender

Credits: (3)
This course examines women, men and gendered lives as they appear through every aspect of social life, including personal and social identity, social relationships, and institutional structures. Topics include gendered aspects of work, education, family, media, sexuality, politics and social change, and violence, primarily in the United States. Particular attention will be paid to how gender as a major organizing principle of social life intersects with other socially defined positions of race, social class, and sexuality.
