Course Description This course prepares students to engage in theoretically-grounded research on contemporary issues in health, particularly reproductive and sexual health. We examine contemporary social science approaches to the analysis of gender, exploring their relevance to the development of researchable hypotheses on a range of topical issues. Through readings in social theory and ethnography, students will master key concepts and ideas, including structure and agency, gender stratification, social constructionist approaches, and bargaining theory. Students will critically employ these concepts both in the analysis of existing research work in areas such as fertility, HIV and STIs, and other topics and in the development of a critical literature review on a topic of their own selection.
