SEX & GENDER IN GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE (SOC-283324)

Online Learning Home > Online Learning Catalog > Social Science >

Course Description:

This study will explore the comparative study of gender and sexuality across different non-western cultures. Topics may include how different societies define femininity and masculinity, and how work, play, language, appearance and sexual expression come to be marked as "appropriate" or even "natural" for women and men. The course will examine non-binary gender systems, the variations in the sexual division of labor and economic organization, and the impact of forces such as colonialism and globalization on gender issues.

Prerequisites: Advanced critical thinking and writing skills, and one lower-level course in sociology, anthropology, psychology or other social science field.

This course fully meets the general education requirement in Other World Civilizations.
