SO 202 Sociology of the Body

This course will explore sociological scholarship on a wide range of questions relating to the body, including representation, embodiment, social construction of the body, human reproduction, biotechnology, and virtual bodies. In doing this we will utilize both macro- and microsociological theories to examine the politicization of bodies as sites of discipline, regulation, normalization, empowerment, and agency.
