SOCI 258 - Gender, Culture and Power

Institution:

Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

Subject:

Description:

Gender is the most durable and universal of social divisions and remains arguably the most consequential. But what gender has meant, and how it impacts individuals' lives, has varied dramatically over time and between societies. In this course we explore gender as a matrix of cultural meanings and power relationships within which "males" and "females" are constituted. We focus on how gender identities are formed and contested, and the role played by gender in current political controversies.
