Quarter: Spring 2016Instructor: Paula Tavrow Paula Tavrow
Women’s multiple roles, shaped by their socioeconomic and cultural milieu, have profound implications for their own health, as well as for their families. In the last three decades, dramatic changes in women’s social and economic roles have occurred. This course will provide students with an opportunity to examine in detail how the evolving roles of women and other contextual factors have affected women’s and families’ health—both domestically and internationally. Following a lifecycle approach, each stage of women’s lives will be analyzed to determine how societal demands and expectations influence their physical, mental and reproductive health. P/C: Matoff
