Study of Women and Gender 101 - SWG READS

The course offers a series of talks and discussions about the ways that SWG reads the world around us and the times we live in. This course is designed to introduce students to "intersectionality" as a core concept and a distinctive methodology of the Study of Women and Gender. We will use a series of contemporary case studies drawn from current events, music, film, literature and history to develop a deeper awareness of how our individual experiences and social and historical forces intersect. The course meets Thursday evenings from 7:30-9:00 pm for 7 weeks beginning on September 11 and ending October 23.  Graded S/U only.
