Gender and Sexuality

3 Credits

In this course, students are introduced to the psychology of gender and sexuality from a variety of theoretical perspectives (e.g., positivist-empirical, postmodern), with attention to how both quantitative and qualitative methodologies are used to inform knowledge. The course examines the ways in which mainstream psychology is gendered and sexed, as well as how various feminist approaches are used to study issues in psychology. The intersection of race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and social class are also addressed.
