This course will examine how gender shapes and is shaped by individuals. We will draw on psychological theories, feminist theories, the empirical literature, and case studies of women. In the first section of the course we will consider a variety of ways in which gender is constructed socially; in the second section we will examine particular domains in which gender is experience and perform (mental health and well-being, relationships, violence and work and achievement). In the final section we will examine sources of gender in biology, lifespan development, and socialization to gender and the roles.
