HOD-814 Gendered Identities4 semester credits
Students examine the formation of gender identities and their expression and consequences in roles within families, work, and social organizations. In most cultures, gender is understood in binary terms (woman or man) tethered to the sex (male or female) one is often assigned at birth. However, in reality, the lives of many individuals are lived in the boundaries and overlaps of this binary. Scholars in various disciplines have acknowledged the ways in which gender is socially constructed. The notions of masculinity and femininity have changed over time, and thus have histories. Greater recognition of transgendered individuals combined with sexual orientation has led to important developments in this area of research.
