Course #: WGS 210G

This critical look at human bodies in social context begins with the premise that embodiment itself is a socially constructed phenomenon rather than a fixed biological reality. Topics such as the beauty ideal, physical disabilities, and intersexuality will illustrate how perceptions of our bodies are shaped by social processes and how, in turn, these perceptions shape human experience.
