Gender Studies 101 - Intro to Gender Studies

'By approaching the discipline with particular interest on the impact of people of color on the field of 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 explore the intersections among gender, ethnicity, 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, with particular emphasis on the importance of race.'
