PSY-7121 - Socio-Contextual Psychology of Gender

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8

In this doctoral-level course, you will critically engage in materials designed to explore the diverse processes in which gender concepts are constructed using biological, psychological, and social lenses. You will explore gender, including transgender, cisgender, genderqueer, gender non-binary, and gender-fluid. Along with studying the many forms of gender, you will identify how gender can be experienced as performative rather than as an essential quality. Additionally, you will discuss the implications of these concepts for research and professional practice.
