Reading Gender in Everyday Life - GEN210
This unit examines how gender identities and relations are shaped as individuals and groups interact in the institutions that frame our everyday lives. We look at common activities such as shopping, eating, grooming, talking, reading, working, forming relationships and more, to examine some of the discourses – biological, cultural, social– that reproduce ideas of masculinity and femininity, of being a man or woman. We look at intersections of gender with class, ethnicity, and race. We engage with a range of theories of gender, and draw on research across the social sciences and humanities.
