SO 225 Sociology of Gender

Social Science. Cultural Diversity. In this course we explore the social aspects of gender from a sociological perspective. We examine how gender is defined, constructed, and reinforced within society, and how all this relates to gender identities, gender expression, and gendered experiences. With a critical eye on gender inequality, we will explore the interactions between gender and other socially-constructed categories such as race/ethnicity/class/age as well as social institutions.
