    Description
    This course offers a sociological analysis of the social construction of gender and sexuality, historically and cross-culturally. It critically examines masculinities, femininities, the non-binary spectrum, and intersectionality. It analyzes the macro-level of how institutions shape gender as well as the micro-level of how individuals are socialized into gender and how they “do” gender. It examines gender inequalities in institutions such as the family, education system, workplace, religion, mass media, health care, and politics.
