SOCL 328 - Sociological Perspectives on Health and Gender

Institution:

Trinity College

Subject:

Description:

Gender issues influence both the way in which health is defined and the way health care delivery systems are organized and financed. The changing status of women has important consequences for public policy as well as private practice. Using a sociological perspective which incorporates historical material, the course will focus on: the social and historical context in which health is defined, race and class inequities in access to health services, gender issues in the professions, and the influence of the women's movement in creating alternative health care systems. Students will be asked to identify a particular issue on which they wish to do independent reading and/or field study and to share their work in oral presentations and papers. Prerequisite: Prior Sociology course or permission of the instructor. Course not open to first-year students. 1.00 units, Seminar
