SSY 205 — Psychology of Gender
The psychology of gender examines gender, sex, and sexuality from a psychological perspective. The course will explore biological and socioculturalinfluences as well as feminism, considering how psychology's quest for universal principles has sometimes turned women, queers, and people of color into ''generalized others.'' The consequences of ''heteronormative patriarchy'' on psychological development, relationships, work, education, and health are considered with attention to gender-based discrimination and violence.
