PSYC 517 - Applied Psychology of Women and Gender

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

This course takes an applied approach to the psychology of women and gender. For five decades, psychologists have studied social phenomena from feminist frameworks. This course is designed to familiarize students with those frameworks, as well as see how these theoretical and epistemological underpinnings lead to different research questions, methodological approaches, data analyses, and implications for practice. Students will move from feminist theory and epistemology to empirical study and practice across current topics in the field which may include sexualization, reproduction and motherhood, work and achievement, sexual and gender categories, immigration, and violence against women.
