    Description
    This course examines the social construction of gender identities and practices as societal and institutional products that are performed on macro, meso, and micro levels. This examination incorporates the intersection of various statuses and identities, such as race, sexuality, and class, that influence the construction of gender. As an institutional product, the course analyzes the role of culture, the economy, politics, and other institutions that define and reshape gendered expectations and practices.
