SOC 413 Gender and Society
This course will examine the different roles prescribed to individuals on the basis of their gender and the gender structures that constrain us. Socialization experiences at various stages in the individual's life cycle (e.g., during childhood, adolescence, middle age, and old age) will be discussed. In addition, we will consider the consequences of gender structure for men's and women's home and family life, education, work roles and achievement and mental and physical health.
