SOCI 367 - Sociology of Gender
Drawing on theoretical and empirical research, as well as visual media and print news reporting, students explore gender as a primary market of social inequality in our society and a major impetus for social change. Specifically, students analyze how gendered ideologies, practices, and contexts shape social institutions such as work, family, medicine, sport, military, religion, and the beauty industry. They examine how institutions and bodies become contested sites for gender and sexual politics. Students also pay close attention to how gendered ideologies work in tandem with race, class, and sexual expectations, constraining (and sometimes enabling) bodies and lives. Students are encouraged to analyze US culture with a gendered lens.
