Psychology of Women

Catalog description

Students will study significant physical and psychological issues of women within an historical, familial, societal, cultural and contemporary framework. They will explore intersectionality such as gender, gender roles, binary/alternative gender, social constructivism, race, sex, ethnicity, global perspectives, mental health, ability, sexism, politics, laws, and social justice movements that influence the psychology of women and identity. A comparative analysis of the interplay between intersectionality and psychological issues is used to examine the concepts of health, family, work, well-being, stress management, violence against women, power, feminism, and the media using psychological theories and current scientific research.
