Gender in Medicine
Activity
PC Session
PC Session
Drawing on your ProComp teachings over the past months, the goal of both the LGS and your SGS activities are to specifically practice applying your intersectional lens to this topic. Gender, like all social constructs, is inextricable from our social contexts. In essence, it cannot and should never be studied in isolation, removed from all our other socially constructed identities and labels - such as race, class, ethnicity, immigration, marital status, occupation, and income.
