Institution:

Quinsigamond Community College

Subject:

Description:

This course explores peoples' gender experiences in society from a sociological perspective. A sociological perspective is particularly important to gender studies because it situates individual experience within the context of social institutions. This course addresses how the varied experiences of women and men are constructed within social institutions and, therefore, can be transformed through institutional change. Students develop critical and analytical skills through reading and writing assignments. Students learn actively to incorporate aspects of social stratification and the differences it engenders in women's and men's experiences. Corequisite: ENG 100 or appropriate placement score. F/S
