This course examines the links between gender, sex, and health. Students are introduced to the social and cultural theorizing on sex and gender, including critical and postmodern approaches. Topics that are explored in this course deal with the social construction of gender, medicalization, gender and health inequalities, reproductive health, gender in the context of health care organization and structure, and intersection of gender with other systems of social inequalities.

  • Very useful if you will be in the social aspects of health sciences after graduation. Dr. Neiterman really shows her passion for this subject, and she is very good at encouraging students to expand their horizons and explore their thought processes in more depth. If you're interested in philosophy or furthering your critical thinking it's a great course.
    Very group work heavy. 40% final project is group work. Presumably everyone in a 4th year seminar course will be decent group members, but it's worth noting. Follows a very typical structure for this prof's classes. Reading reflections, course reflections, and a class facilitation.
