SOC 125 - Gender and Society

Upper Division

Prerequisites
All upper-division courses have a prerequisite of SOC 002, or SOC 004, or the consent of the instructor.

While sex differences are biological, gender encompasses the traits that society assigns to and inculcates in males and females. This course studies the latter: the interplay between gender and society. It takes an inclusive perspective, with a focus on men and women in different cultural contexts defined by ethnic group membership, sexuality and socioeconomic status.
