UMD SOCY 236 Entire Course

University of Maryland SOCY 236 Gender and Health Entire Course

The relationship between gender and health is the central focus of this course, as how this relationship is conditioned by race-ethnicity, sexuality, and social class. We consider how sociopolitical and environmental factors influence gendered associations with physical and mental health. In addition, this is a course on how to do the disciplinary work of sociology. Social policies surrounding health have been crucial to creating our current understanding of our system, and this course will give insight into how policies are crafted through a peer-reviewed process that relies on critical feedback from sociologists engaged in the same project, in this case, the other students in this course.

Note: This entire course includes discussions, assignments, course projects, and exams.
