Explore the social construction of gender and sexuality

Explore the social construction of gender and sexuality, as well as the ways in which gender and sexual identities intersect with other social categories such as race, class, and nationality. Discuss sociological theories of gender, such as gender socialization theory and queer theory, in understanding the social norms, roles, and expectations associated with masculinity and femininity. Analyze research findings on gender inequality, sexual harassment, and gender-based violence, as well as the impact of feminist movements, LGBTQ+ activism, and gender mainstreaming initiatives on promoting gender equity and sexual rights.
