SOC 443 - Gender and the Ideal Type

Credits: 3

Sociology is the study of the social world: how we create patterns through our individual behaviors, how we interact with one another, how society influences people and how we influence the larger social structure. Sociology is a broad discipline, examining questions related to various social locations and cultural phenomena. This course is designed to help you start to see the world sociologically-to see patterns in human social behavior. In particular, this course will focus on the way in which gender has been shaped by sociological forces, in particular the way in the which notions of gender are shaped by “ideal types.” We will do this by contrasting cultural and social expectations of gender with the actual lived experiences of men and women in our society.

Prerequisites: SOC 110  , SOC 270  , or PSY 343
