Sex and Gender Issues ((3))

Catalog description

In this course we will examine a variety of gender issues affecting personal, social, educational, and work lives. Topics to be discussed during the course will help students explore the influence of gender in shaping our lives, our attitudes, and behavior. We will also study how people shape and challenge gender in significant ways leading to various forms of social change. Throughout this process, key concepts such as race, social class, and sexual orientation will be integrated in the examination of gender. Critical thinking will be incorporated by questioning the role of gender across a range of areas including communication, education, family, media, politics, and self- image.
