PSYC – The Psychobiology of Sex and Gender

Course description

This course explores a range of factors that contribute to sexual behavior and understandings at biological, psychological, and sociocultural levels. The course is pitched at the foundational level and explores sex and gender through a variety of lenses that range from the molecular (genetic, cellular) to more molar (social constructionism) perspectives. The course represents the application of psychological science to an understanding of timely, and evolving, contemporary issues. Special emphasis is given to sexual orientation, sexual preference, sexual variance, and the study of gender and differences.
