Sex, Gender, and Society

This course will explore contemporary frameworks and methodological approaches underpinning the sociological study of sex, gender, and sexuality. In addition to delving into key debates about sex, gender, and sexuality, this course will critically examine the social construction of sex, gender, and sexuality within different institutions and social contexts. Throughout the course, close attention will be paid to understanding how sex, gender, and sexuality are mutually constituted alongside other systems of inequality, such as race, ethnicity, class, and nationality, as well as how moments of tension, resistance, and change emerge.
