Description

An examination of society’s gendered institutions and patterns of behavior. Students will examine the sources of gender identity formation, divisions of labor in the household and workplace, and the social structures that reproduce and maintain them. Students will also be exposed to intersectional analysis, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomics, religion, sexuality, and ability/disability that may further contribute to gender imbalances in society.
