The mpurpose mof mthis mcourse mis mto mexamine mthe mlives mof mgirls mand mwomen. mWe mwill minclude

mwomen mand mwork, mlove mrelationships, msexuality, mwomen’s mphysical mand mmental mhealth,

mshould macquire ma mbetter munderstanding mabout mgirls, mwomen, mand mgender min mNorth mAmerica.
As mthe mcourse minstructor, mI’m mhopeful mthat meach mof myou mwill mwork mtoward mthe mfollowing mgoals:
1. To munderstand mthe mrelevant minformation mabout mthe mlives mof mgirls mand mwomen—as
mwell mas mgender—with ma mparticular memphasis mon mthe mcomplexity mof mthe missues.
2. To mdevelop mcritical-thinking mskills, mso mthat myou mcan mevaluate mboth mthe mresearch min
mprofessional mjournals mand minformation mdescribed min mthe mpopular mmedia.
3. To mknow mhow mto mdesign myour mown mpsychology mresearch mproject, mto mconduct mthe
mresearch, mand mto mwrite man mappropriately mprofessional msummary mof myour mown mresearch,
memphasizing mthe mpotential mmethodological mflaws mand mstrengths min myour mstudy.
4. To mexplore myour mown mideas mand mattitudes mabout mgender, mappreciating mthat mwe mdo mnot mneed
mto mbe mconstrained mby mour mculture’s mtraditional mgender mroles.
5. To mappreciate mthe minequalities mthat mmany mindividuals mface, mbased mon msocial mcategories
