SOC 220 - Sociology of Gender

Credit(s): 3

The sociology of gender introduces students to thinking about the world around them in a sociological way. Gender provides a starting point for examining how social inequalities are structured. Students will assess the complex interactions among gender and multiple social identities such as race, class, sexuality, disability, age, nationality, and religion. Emphasis will be placed on how our individual experiences are shaped by the institutions and cultures around us, and how we shape institutions and culture through our individual and collective actions.
