This course deals with questions of gender, health, and illness. More specifically, we explore the myriad of gendered modes in which health and illness can be performed and embodied. The primary emphasis will be on physical health although we also explore issues related to neurological and psychological functioning. Topics include stress and coping, help seeking, adjustment to acute injury and chronic illness, and other gender specific health issues. In our discussions, we also explore the interplay of gender with age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and sexuality.
