ISS 651 Gender
(3-0-3) Gender, often seen as a biological difference, has its meaning constructed by cultures. The concepts of masculinity and femininity are socially and contextually formed and reflect the basic function point of society. Using an interdisciplinary approach, this course seeks to understand how gender functions in various contexts and its intersections with class, race, region, age, sexuality, geography, ethnicity and power. Equates with IGEO/IHIS/ISOC 651.
