WMST 190 - Science,Sex & Gender

Institution:

Denison University

Subject:

Description:

Current research on sex differences in humans and animals has raised our awareness of bona fide variations in brain chemistry and function between males and females. How do these legitimate research findings compare with our stereotypes about gender differences? During the semester we will investigate several perspectives on sex and gender differences - from popular media sources to leading research. We will also investigate the role of women and men in science in a historical and modern context. Ultimately our goal is to blend our knowledge with our personal experiences to answer the question, "Is the study of science divided by sex and gender?" 4
