Psychology of Women and Cultural Experience

Catalog description

This course explores the influence of gender, race, and class in the psychological development and experience of women in cultural contexts. Although it will primarily focus on the lives of women in the United States, an attempt will be made to provide linkage to women's experiences globally. Topics covered will include the role of gender bias in the history of psychology, female personality development, women in the workplace, women's psychosexual issues, and the role of gender in health and wellness.
