This course is an introduction to the study of gender and society. Its focus will be on changes and continuities in the gender roles of men and women and on the role of gender as an organizing principle of contemporary social life. We will examine theoretical approaches to explaining gender, the impact of race, ethnicity, social class, and sexual orientation on conceptions of gender and the impact of gender on interactions in everyday life. As we explore these themes, we will study how culture, the family, the economy, the political system, mass media and the legal system have shaped and in turn are shaped by gender roles.Usually HeldTue Thu 11:10am–12:35pm, Tue Thu 12:45pm–2:10pm
