This is an introductory course on gender, gender theory and the sociology of gender, in order to familiarize students with gender as a standpoint in social science and research. It centers on the history of the conceptualization of gender, its  relation to sex and the multiplicity of its expressions. Demonstrating gender as a social construction that divides subjects in a hierarchical way, we will investigate the problems for democracy, as well as for the individual self-realization, created by the existing gender dichotomy.
