PSY 1113 - PSYCHOLOGY OF WOMEN+

Minimum Credits: 3
Maximum Credits: 3
This course will critically examine the history of androcentric bias within the field of psychology. We will discuss research on the experiences of women and gender minorities (individuals who do not identify as their assigned sex at birth), using a feminist psychological and intersectional framework, in domains such as emotional expression, interpersonal relationships, labor, health, and victimization. I will give particular attention to how structural power in a patriarchal society influences these experiences. We will also discuss masculinity and cisgender men's experiences, but the focus of the course will be on cisgender women and gender minorities. This is a discussion-based course designed to help students develop oral communication skills particularly around the discussion of sensitive topics. Students will be required to complete a group oral presentation project.
