• An understanding of the process through which scientific knowledge is obtained (the scientific method).
• Critical thinking and problem solving skills.,This syllabus was submitted to the Rhodes College Office of Academic Affairs by the instructor.
WMST 400, Feminist Theory, Spring 2007
Women's Studies is an interdisciplinary field that draws on ideas from the humanities, social and
natural sciences in order to analyze how humans construct notions about women, gender and sex
and how thesen otions in turn affect the lived experienceso f both men and women. In this
introduction to the field, we will focus on understanding the concept of gender as a social
construct and also examine how this concept is inextricably linked to and complicated by other
factors such as ethnicity, sexu
ANSO 303-01, Medical Sociology, Fall 2007

Topics that will be covered in this course include epidemiology, social demography of health, the relationship between social stress and health, health and illness behavior, the sick role, the physician-patient relationship, the organization of health care and medical practice, and the moral and ethical aspects of health care pra
ANSO 300-03, Cultural Motifs, Urban and Community Health, Fall 2007
Welcome to the Anthro/Soc 300.3 Urban and Community Health wiki. This course will examine U.S. urban and community health with a particular focus on minority populations. We will also examine current public health issues such as how health is distributed during U.S. disaster relief and social problems that impact community health like gun violence or obesity. The format of the assignments will contrast with the usual paper and test class. Instead you will collaboratively create a wiki website on
ANSO 275-01, Explorations in Social Theory, Fall 2007
Social theory is the conceptual backbone of both anthropology and sociology.
