Gender as a Concept: Advanced Readings - GEND820
This unit begins by focusing on gender as a concept, tracing its historical and intellectual trajectories in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Higher level questions are raised with respect to the status of the sex-gender distinction; the status of femininity and masculinity when gender is considered as a social performance more than as a biological inheritance (through genes, hormones or evolutionary psychology); and the status of 'queer' methodologies in sociological research.
