'How does the body 'shape' who we are and does our identity shape our body? This course will explore the interacting relationship between the image of the body and body image with identity and sense of self. Drawing on personality theories, social constructivist thought, and feminist principles, this course will examine the intersections of self-image with a focus on gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity, social class, size, age, and physical ability.'
This course is open to Juniors and Seniors. Prereq: 8 credits in Psychology
