Description

This course provides students with the opportunity to critically investigate shifting socio-cultural constructions of gender. The course develops students' knowledge of theories, experiences and issues of gender. Students are encouraged to think about diverse ways in which social structure mechanisms can: support and maintain notions of femininity and masculinity, affect the choices and opportunities available, and shape ideas regarding individual and social well-being. Students are encouraged to explore the social, political, economic and cultural contexts inhabited by women and men as consumers and providers of human services; to analyse the ways in which gender is experienced, defined, validated, and promoted.
