SOC 246 - Gender Diversity (1)

This course will focus on diverse gender identities, bodies, and social presentations. Social practices and pressures of gender will be examined in order to gain insight into the larger contemporary social meanings of gender. We will explore how individuals interpret and present their gender identities, the constraints on such interpretations and presentations, and the larger social implications of gender diversity and gender regulation on cultural ideals. This course may count toward the SOC, SAN, or GSS major. Prerequisites: SOC 101, SOC 102 or GSS 171. Alternate years.
