SOC 673 Researching Gender Across Societies
Gender structures across societies will be examined. A variety of micro and macro gender theories will be used in an attempt to explain the cross-cultural variation in gender systems. Students will develop a research question that will be examined through lectures, discussions, readings, and an analysis of relevant data. A research paper which poses the research question in a theoretical context, reviews the literature, and empirically tests the hypotheses will be the end product of the course.
