Prerequisite: None. Total lecture 54 hours. This course offers a sociological analysis of gender in contemporary society, including a brief survey of the feminist movement and the stories of some of its earliest leaders. Issues addressed include gender as a social institution, the social construction of gender, gender and sexuality, social inequality, and the effects of gendered thinking in contemporary mainstream culture on the structure of social institutions and on public perception of social issues and political systems. By studying gender, the course reveals cultural distinctions among men's and women's perspectives and the political consequences of those differences for women's and men's experiences related to health, families, religion, education, politics and work, among others.
