• SOC 258: Gender, Culture and Power

  3.00 Credits

  Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  Gender is the most durable and universal of social divisions and remains arguably the most consequential. But what gender has meant, and how it impacts individuals' lives, has varied dramatically over time and between societies. In this course we explore gender as a matrix of cultural meanings and power relationships within which "males" and "females" are constituted. We focus on how gender identities are formed and contested, and the role played by gender in current political controversies.

• SOC 320: Sociology of Disability

  3.00 Credits

  This course explores our understandings and practices regarding ability and disability through time, especially in the United States. We emphasize how and why we construct particular bodies and bodily practices as desirable or undesirable and consider the factors that shape inclusion and exclusion of people based on ideas of ability/disability. In so doing, we discuss how disability intersects with topics such as inequality, poverty, globalization, social movements, civil rights, social policy, stigma and identity, and a broad range of social roles.
