Description
Sex and gender constitute some of the most basic identities that individuals have. This course aims to address the identities, determinants, development, and implications for mental and physical health and for positive adaptation.Rationale: The course is a required course in the multicultural diversity sequence of the clinical coursework and overlaps with no other course in the department. No course will be dropped to accommodate this offering. It has been taught as an experimental course over a number of semesters and will now be added as a clinical psychology subprogram requirement.Learning Goals/Outcomes: By the end of the course, the student should appreciate and understand the bio-psychosocial factors underlying sex and gender, as well as the relations of those factors to health.Assessment: Mastery is a function of several activities, including participating in discussion of assigned readings, making an in-class oral presentation, and generating a final 15-page paper.
