ESS 30213 - Gender Roles and Violence in Society

Institution:

University of Notre Dame

Subject:

Education

Description:

Much of the violence in contemporary society - whether it is domestic abuse, school shootings, gang warfare, video games, or inter-ethnic conflict - has something to do with gender. This course explores the connection between gender role socialization and the expression of conflict or aggression. Through readings, discussions, films and projects, students will be encouraged to examine sex differences in violent behavior as the outcome of complex processes. We will try to understand those processes better and develope the ability to describe the causes and their effects.
