SOC6019H: Gender Relations I

This is a core course in the Gender area; an overview, or survey, of the sociology of gender focusing on various ways of thinking about gender and research in key subareas of the field. There are many ways to organize an overview of the field. Drawing on the gender comprehensive exam list, the course considers "feminist contestations" that orient our thinking about gender in sociology through interdisciplinary conversations and debates. We focus heavily on how gender is infused with, and infuses, other structures of inequality including race, Indigeneity, class, migrant status, sexuality, and disability. Students examine subfields within the sociology of gender, such as labour, care, and so on. Students consider how these approaches to understanding gender emerge within or otherwise relate to their own work, or to the gender subfields in which they will specialize.
