PSY 437 - Psychology of Gender

  • 3 credits

What is gender? What is femininity? What is masculinity?

This course focuses on theories and research about gender in cultural and historical contexts.
The goals of this course are 1) to explore how gender is constructed in everyday life—for example, in the media, in the family, and in the workplace, and 2) to promote critical thinking about popular and scientific theories and research about gender. The course challenges the assumption that gender is simply an element of individual identity. Societies are gendered in culturally and historically specific ways.
