PSYC/WMST 354: Psychology of Women &
Gender
This course explores the psychology of women and
gender within three main units. The
first unit addresses feminism and examines research, gender, and biology
through a feminist lens. The second unit focuses on women’s development from
childhood through young adulthood with particular attention on socialization
and interpersonal relationships. The final unit explores issues of power: in
the workplace, interpersonally, and psychologically. In the course, there is also an examination
of how women’s lives can be bettered by transforming gender so that women can
become empowered.
Psychology of Women & Gender is offered in
