Course Title	Topic:Intro. to Gendr Studies
Department	Spanish
Campus	Mount Holyoke College
Course Description	'This course, taught in Spanish, is an introduction to the interdisciplinary field of gender studies. It also focuses on the specific implications of this new, predominantly U.S.-based discipline for and in the Spanish speaking world. The intersections among gender, race, class, and sexuality in various contexts, past and present, will be central to our inquiry. Topics will include the politics of appearance, women's economic status, sexual violence, racism, legacies of colonialism, the challenges of transnational feminist and queer activism, and strategies for change. We will examine the development of feminist and queer theory and its practices in various local and transnational contexts, but especially in the Spanish-speaking world.'
