Psychology 166 - INTRO-PSYCHOLOGY OF GENDER

How can psychological science help us understand how gender operates in our society? How can our understanding of the psychological research help us address structural inequalities related to gender? This course represents an introduction to what we know about the role gender plays in the everyday lives of people. In this course we will review the psychological research on how structural inequities play out in gender roles and affect the lives of boys and girls and men and women. Throughout the course we will attend to the intersection of race, class, sexual orientation, and other group memberships with gender.
