WGST 10 Sex, Gender and Society
This course will investigate the roles of women and men in society from an
interdisciplinary point of view. We will analyze both the theoretical and
practical aspects of gender attribution — how it shapes social roles within
diverse cultures, and defines women’s and men’s personal sense of identity. We
will discuss the following questions: What are the actual differences between
the sexes in the areas of biology, psychology, and moral devel opment? What is
the effect of gender on participation in the work force and politics, on lan
guage, and on artistic expression? We will also explore the changing patterns
of relationships between the sexes and possibilities for the future. Open to
all students. Dist: SOC. Class of 2008 and later: WCult: CI.
