Description

This course provides students with the opportunity to critically investigate shifting socio-cultural constructions of gender. The course introduces students to theories, experiences and issues of gender, and to think about how gender matters in the choices and opportunities available to us; in shaping ideas regarding individual and social well-being. We explore examples of social, political, economic and cultural contexts inhabited by consumers and providers of human services to analyse the ways in which gender is experienced, defined, validated, and reworked.
