What you study
When did pink become a “girls’ color”? Under what circumstances is it “acceptable” for men in the modern era to cry?
The studies critically examine various aspects of women's status in society, relations between the sexes, and existing perceptions of gender—both in general and with a focus on Israeli society. The curriculum includes courses on the historical, social, cultural, and political factors and processes that have influenced women's status and relations between men and women; patterns in the formation, representation, and change of sexual and gender identity; gender stereotypes; and more. Advanced courses examine how these issues are reflected in fields such as history, sociology, psychology, philosophy, literature, law, and more.
