    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.
