This course will examine various interrelations between health, gender, and inequality from multi-disciplinary perspectives including sociology, anthropology, psychology, and social medicine. The course will focus on how gender inequality is socially constructed and the important roles that social institutions, ideology, and cultural practices play in creating, perpetuating, and addressing gendered health issues. We will discuss issues of general global significance such as reproduction, sexuality, mental health and well-being, lifestyle, morbidity, and mortality in comparative European contexts, with an emphasis on the post-socialist states. Classes will also consider the implications of poverty, labor markets, and labor force discrimination on gender inequality and health. The course aims to move beyond a description of specific health problems to a critical analysis of women's and men's health in their everyday lives, exploring how their embodied experiences are shaped by cultural beliefs and practices, social institutions, and social policies.
