SOC 5700 Gender Globalizing Society

This course explores issues of gender and gender inequality in the contexts of globalization and global economy. It examines the ways in which systems of social stratification are gendered as power, prestige, and property are unequally distributed on the basis of sex. Students explore ways in which people become gendered, live in gendered worlds, and do gendered work, and how boundaries are redefined and renegotiated. Students also learn about the social construction of sex and gender from cross-cultural perspectives. In addition, the course explores the impact of global economy on gender relations and women’s work. Course offered every two years, Summer Semester.
