Gender Studies 101 - Intro to Gender Studies

'This course is designed to introduce students to social, cultural, historical, and political perspectives on gender and its construction. Through discussion, writing and collaborative projects, we will explore the intersections among gender, race, class, sexuality, and disability in multiple settings and contexts. Taking an interdisciplinary approach to a variety of questions, we will consider thematic topics in gender studies, such as masculinities, femininities, family and reproductive politics, sports, and human rights. We will also address the potential and challenges of feminist activism across linguistic, cultural, and national borders.'
