As a response to this post, and making direct references to the learning resources for this week, give your own assessment of the value of studying gender, particularly from a sociological standpoint. How can the Sociology of Gender affect our world outside this classroom? Some ideas (you do not have to comment on all of these; they are just prompts for thinking):

Question 1: What are some under- (or un-) investigated issues that the Sociology of Gender could address?

Question 2: Why is gender an important topic for sociological research?

Question 3: How does research in the Sociology of Gender contribute to social movements working toward gender equality?

Question 4: What is the relationship between the Sociology of Gender and feminism?

Question 5: What is something you learned this session that you'll take with you outside of this class?

Question 6:  What have you learned that you wish other people knew?

Question 7:  Is there any learning resource from this class that you will share with others? Why?

Question 8: Would you recommend that other people in your major (or in other majors) take a course on gender, or this course in particular?

Question 9: What do you believe is the value of the Sociology of Gender as a field, and as part of a university curriculum?
